Beyond Piety and Politics: Religion, Social Relations, and Public Preferences in the Middle East and North Africa by Sabri Ciftci
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3 MB
Overview: How do ordinary men and women in Muslim-majority societies create religion-informed views of political topics such as democracy and economics?
Beyond Piety and Politics provides a groundbreaking approach to understanding the depth and variety of political attitudes held by people who consider themselves to be pious Muslims. Using survey data on religious preferences and behavior, the authors argue for the relevance and importance of four outlook categories―religious individualist, social communitarian, religious communitarian, and post-Islamist―and use these to explore complex and nuanced attitudes of devout Muslims toward issues like democracy and economic distribution. They also reveal how intrafaith variation in political attitudes is not due simply to doctrinal differences but is also a product of the social aspects of religious association operating within political contexts.
