Politics of Desecularization: Law and the Minority Question in Pakistan by Sadia

Description: Politics of Desecularization by Sadia Saeed Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A fascinating account of how Islam can be deployed or resisted to shape minority rights and religious change in Muslim societies. Publisher Description The movement away from secularist practices and toward political Islam is a prominent trend across Muslim polities. Yet this shift remains under-theorized. Why do modern Muslim polities adopt policies that explicitly cater to religious sensibilities? How are these encoded in law and with what effects? Sadia Saeed addresses these questions through examining shifts in Pakistans official state policies toward the rights of religious minorities, in particular the controversial Ahmadiyya community. Looking closely at the Ahmadi question, Saeed develops a framework for conceptualizing and explaining modern desecularization processes that emphasizes the critical role of nation-state formation, political majoritarianism, and struggles between secularist and religious ideologues in evolving political and legal fields. The book demonstrates that desecularization entails instituting new understandings of religion through processes and justifications that are quintessentially modern.
