Inside Tunisia's al-Nahda between politics and preaching / [Texte imprimé] : Rory McCarthy - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2018 - 1 vol. (234 p.) ; 24 cm - Cambridge Middle East studies .
Bibliogr. p. 209-230
Introduction -- Morality, behaviour, and networks -- Rethinking politicization -- Confronting prison -- Beyond social exclusion -- Rebuilding and fragmenting -- Conclusion
In the wake of the Arab uprisings, al-Nahda voted to transform itself into a political party that would for the first time withdraw from a preaching project built around religious, social, and cultural activism. This turn to the political was not a Tunisian exception but reflects an urgent debate within Islamist movements as they struggle to adjust to a rapidly changing political environment. This book reorientates how we think about Islamist movements. Drawing on extensive fieldwork with grassroots activists of Tunisia's al-Nahda, Rory McCarthy focuses on the lived experience of activism to offer a challenging new perspective on one of the Middle East's most successful Islamist projects. Original evidence explains how al-Nahda survived two decades of brutal repression in prison and in social exclusion, and reveals what price the movement paid for a new strategy of pragmatism and reform during the Tunisian transition away from authoritarianism
