What kind of decolonial possibilities exist in today's world?
Exploring the rise of Islamic activism in Lebanon and the Middle
East, and drawing transnational parallels with other revolutionary
religious struggles in Latin America and South Africa, Sarah
Marusek offers a timely analysis of the social and political
evolution of Islamic movements. The growing popularity of Islamic
movements means that many groups, which emerged in opposition to
Western imperialism, are now also gaining increasing economic and
political powers. Based on more than two and a half years of
ethnographic fieldwork in Lebanon, Marusek paints a picture of how
resistance is lived and reproduced in daily lives, tracing the
evolution of the ideas and practices of the charities affiliated
with Hizbullah and the wider Islamic resistance movement. Adopting
a dialectical approach, Faith and Resistance discusses the
possibility for resistance groups to reconcile acquiring power with
their decolonial aspirations. In doing so, the book acts as a guide
for liberation struggles and those engaged in resistance the world
over.
