Islam and Democracy After the Arab Spring

Zusatztext
For those who see in the apparent failure of the ´Arab spring´ proof of the incompatibility of Islam and democratization, Esposito, Sonn, and Voll´s new book offers a nuanced and brilliant rejoinder. No work that I know succeeds better at explaining the logic of the political struggles underway in the modern Muslim world. None more fully deserves to be read by scholars and the general reader alike.
