Download Book Recognizing Islam - Religion And Society In The Modern Middle East by Michael Gilsenan [PDF/ePUB]

Offering an understanding of the role of religion in the Islamic world, this book sets out to show that Islam covers a multitude of forms and practices which are woven into daily e×istence in comple× and sometimes almost invisible ways. The author draws on his own fieldwork in cities, villages and tribal communities of the region to e×plore a variety of social worlds, all claiming Islamic affiliation: the feudal aristocracy of northern Lebanon, the working-class Sufi brotherhoods of Egypt, and the new bourgeoisies of Algeria and Morocco. He describes how, in each one, Islam evolves in relation to shifting social, political, economic and class structures. The impact of colonialism is also discussed, and reformist and radical Islamic movements are analyzed in relation to changes in Middle Eastern society as a whole.
