Item Description...
Heretofore, the study of the Middle East has focused almost exclusively on Islam and on the regime, especially on its nondemocratic aspects. It has done so at the expense of accounting fully for the forces of skepticism, liberty, and creativity that struggle against Islamic conformism and state hegemony. This volume examines how Middle Eastern peoples in the 19th and 20th centuries lived and flourished while trying to shape their political and religious surroundings outside the formal structures of established religion and the state.

 | Liberal Secularism in the Arab World in 19th-20th cents. Nov 26, 2001 |
| Overall this proves to be a useful volume. It's the type that is nice to check out of the library, but it isn't necessarily one essential to your collection. A note about its title, it means what it says. This volume neither discusses the Arab state nor the Islamist opposition. Rather, it examines the in-between of the two, usually meaning secular liberals. For this reason, it is a much appreciated volume with the books on Islamic fundamentalism and the non-democratic regimes approaching infinity. If you're interested in exploring this aspect of society in the Middle East, this book comes highly recommended. Overall, its essays are written with solid scholarship. | | | Write your own review about Between the State and Islam (Woodrow Wilson Center Press)
