A comparative study of Islamic sects in the contemporary Arab world, this book focuses on the Sunni, the Shi'a, the Alawis and the Druzes. The author examines dogma, ecological, historical and structural variables, religious ideology, modern state structures, nationalism and elitism.
"Anyone interested in Arab culture is aware of the invaluable role Saqi plays in making available pioneering, specialist and often controversial books that large publishers refuse to go near." The Times "Still issuing titles that stimulate and challenge - books with editorial audacity" Independent Saqi Books is an independent publishing house of quality general interest and academic books on North Africa and the Middle East. Founded in 1983 in London, Saqi's links with cutting edge and authoritative voices have led to a rigorous reassessment of Arab cultural heritage.
