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.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 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.
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2014
This book came out a few months before 9/11, yet it is still quite timely and informative.
Most books about Islam and state seem to start with the era of Muhammad and the successive, Medieval rulings and codes, followed by a large gap and jump towards the 19th century. At this point, books usually follow the formula that starts with J. al-Afghani, then to Muhammad Abduh, then to Hassan al-Banna, and then Sayyid Qutb. Fortunately this book does none of that, and instead focuses on lesser-known subjects such as Muslim nationalism in the Caucasus and Tatar regions of Russia, or the development of technology and industry in 19th century Egypt and why it fell short.
Chapters on Islam and state focus more one the nonconformist movements (as opposed to the typical focus on the radical Muslim associations, or the socialist-nationalist Nasserist regimes). These include movements of the Left, secularists, and modernists.
To be honest, I originally only got this book to have access to the chapter by As'ad Abukhalil, "Against the taboos of Islam", wherein he discusses the small but staunch roles of nonconformist reformers of Islam in addition to secularists and atheists, such as Faraj Foda, Muhammad Shurhur, and Marxist figures like Shaykh Abdullah al-Alayili and Hadi al-Alawi. Its a very good chapter and I was surprised how well the other chapters were too.
Any student of the Middle East, if they want objective research outside the mainstream curriculum then this book is for you.
