In the wake of the Arab uprisings, al-Nahda voted to transform
itself into a political party that would for the first time
withdraw from a preaching project built around religious, social,
and cultural activism. This turn to the political was not a
Tunisian exception but reflects an urgent debate within Islamist
movements as they struggle to adjust to a rapidly changing
political environment. This book re-orientates how we think about
Islamist movements. Drawing on extensive fieldwork with grassroots
activists of Tunisia's al-Nahda, Rory McCarthy focuses on the lived
experience of activism to offer a challenging new perspective on
one of the Middle East's most successful Islamist projects.
Original evidence explains how al-Nahda survived two decades of
brutal repression in prison and in social exclusion, and reveals
what price the movement paid for a new strategy of pragmatism and
reform during the Tunisian transition away from authoritarianism.
