Abstract
These points, however, do not take away from the importance of the book, which remains a candid and valuable account of the Brotherhood and how the movement is evolving under the new circumstances of repression and forced exile. This book is certainly a must read for scholars of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, of Islamism and the identity politics of diaspora movements more broadly, due to its focus on exiled members. Because of its clarity in terms of writing, flow, and structure, the book is also easily accessible to students and therefore it lends itself well to be used in graduate and postgraduate courses on political science, sociology, and international relations.
期刊介绍:
Politics and Religion is an international journal publishing high quality peer-reviewed research on the multifaceted relationship between religion and politics around the world. The scope of published work is intentionally broad and we invite innovative work from all methodological approaches in the major subfields of political science, including international relations, American politics, comparative politics, and political theory, that seeks to improve our understanding of religion’s role in some aspect of world politics. The Editors invite normative and empirical investigations of the public representation of religion, the religious and political institutions that shape religious presence in the public square, and the role of religion in shaping citizenship, broadly considered, as well as pieces that attempt to advance our methodological tools for examining religious influence in political life.
