Series: Edinburgh Studies of the Globalised Muslim World

This book introduces the history of the rise and spread of Salafism during the 20th century as a global Islamic reform movement. It also explains Salafi tools of methodological reasoning: traditionally used to justify highly conservative positions, they now appear equally effective in defending more liberal life choices. The collection will help readers to appreciate the diversity of Salafi movements, as well as the significance of the ongoing socio-economic and political changes within Saudi Arabia and the wider Muslim world that are enabling shifts from this conservative Islamic scholarly tradition.

Reviews for Salafi Social and Political Movements: National and Transnational Contexts

""This is great update on Salafism that provides crucial new insights into the nature of Salafism and even of Islam in general to politics and the difficult choices of combining religious purity with political participation."" -Roel Meijer, Associate Professor of Islam Studies, Radboud University
