"A characteristically informed and incisive analysis of the new transnational movements and globalized responses that have developed in the past twenty years or so in the Muslim world. In this work, as in his others, he draws upon a profound knowledge of individual Muslim groups and an acute understanding of the interaction between theology and politics.... Roy is one of the most important analysts of political Islam today." Publisher's Review
