Introduction: Salafism, the Social, and the Global Resurgence of Religion
Issue: Vol 8 No. 1-2 (2012)
Journal: Comparative Islamic Studies
Subject Areas: Religious Studies Islamic Studies
Abstract:
This introductory article frames the special issue’s examination of social aspects of Salafism in terms of Roel Meijer’s observations on Salafism’s capacity to empower and change identities, and in terms of the wider contexts of the resurgence of Islam and of the global resurgence of religion. It argues that while the study of doctrinal aspects of Salafism is important, the study of the social aspects is more neglected, and that this is where the special issue makes an important contribution.
