Book Synopsis
Geoffrey Nash explores the emergence of the revolutionary Babis and reformist Baha'is and their conflict with mainstream Shi'a Muslims in Iran, and of the parallel Ahmadi movement in North India. Comparing these movements shows that, together, they define important aspects of Islamic modernity.

Trade Review
"This book represents a valuable contribution to the study of the Bahai faith and the Ahmadiyya movement, as well as a detailed analysis of minority movements' adoption of the coloniser's discourse on modernity and Islam." -Dr Reza Zia-Ebrahimi, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor of History, King's College London
