Reviews
“This is a very timely book. At a time where many observers are questioning the possibility of a true democratic process within Muslim majority countries, this series of essays shows, from Turkey to Iran, Senegal to Indonesia, that the political experiences are multiple and the way toward democratization is complex, yet open. The authors invite the reader to avoid simplistic conclusions about Islam and democracy. A critical achievement.” –Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at the University of Oxford “Democracy can take many forms, and the struggle of Muslim majority countries to find a democracy suited to their distinct cultural and political experiences is, as outlined in Islam and Democracy after the Arab Spring, an epoch-making experiment. Countering the ‘clash of civilizations’ and ‘end of history’ prophecies, Esposito, Sonn, and Voll show how pre- and post-Arab spring political developments in Muslim majority countries are marathon battles to end authoritarian practices in politics, religion, culture and statecraft. A must-read for those wishing to gain a nuanced understanding of the volatile and complex developments tied to Muslim efforts to make democracy a reality.” –Ebrahim Moosa, Professor of Islamic Studies, Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame “For those who see in the apparent failure of the ‘Arab spring’ proof of the incompatibility of Islam and democratization, Esposito, Sonn, and Voll’s new book offers a nuanced and brilliant rejoinder. No work that I know succeeds better at explaining the logic of the political struggles underway in the modern Muslim world. None more fully deserves to be read by scholars and the general reader alike.” –Robert W. Hefner, author of Civil Islam: Muslims and Democratization in Indonesia, “This valuable book is highly recommended for understanding the contemporary dilemma of Muslin states caught, as they are, between modernity, tradition and certain ideologies.” — The Muslim World Book Review Vol.38.2 “Islam and Democracy after the Arab Spring is a book of exceptional resolve…”–Journal of Church and State “This is a very timely book.
