"Finally, an examination of Islamism that eschews the abstract generalizations and simple dichotomies that plague our conversations about political Islam. By presenting Islamism as a dynamic and complex amalgamation of competing organizations and orientations, Spiegel provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of the Middle East."--Reza Aslan, author of No god but God and Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth "Young Islam is destined to become the classic work on competition between Islamists--a topic of major importance in our changing world. Required reading for experts, students, and anyone who wants to understand the future of Islam worldwide."--Noah Feldman, author of The Fall and Rise of the Islamic State "Young Islam is a wonderful ethnographic account of the struggles within Islamist movements that has far broader implications for the way we conceive the driving forces behind the rise and behavior of these movements. Although young Islamists in Morocco are the focal point of this study, the book provides a way of thinking about Islamist struggles elsewhere. It's worth reading."--Shibley Telhami, author of The World through Arab Eyes: Arab Public Opinion and the Reshaping of the Middle East "Young Islam is a fascinating and fresh account of the changing landscape of political Islam in Morocco. Spiegel, drawing on years of fieldwork and unprecedented access, moves away from easy characterizations and offers an intimate portrayal of the lives of young Moroccan Islamists as they're actually lived."--Shadi Hamid, author of Temptations of Power: Islamists and Illiberal Democracy in a New Middle East "What makes Spiegel's book so distinctive and important is that it provides a rich and in-depth account of how those at the bottom of the Islamist pyramid--Muslim youth--are attracted to and participate in Islamic movements. Young Islam is a work of exceptional scholarship and impressive research that will force students and scholars of Islamic politics to rethink their assumptions. It is a breath of intellectual fresh air."--John P. Entelis, Fordham University "Spiegel asks timely questions about the conclusions that have been drawn about Islamists in Morocco and the Arab world more broadly. Using an enormous amount of ethnographic analysis and a very sensitive appreciation of Moroccan history and culture, he offers a sophisticated corrective to the stereotypes. This is a significant achievement and it has important policy ramifications."--Clark B. Lombardi, University of Washington School of Law
