Provides an analysis of two Islamist political parties in Pakistan, the highly influential Jama'at-e-Islami and the more militant Jama'at-ud-Da'wa, widely blamed for the November 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India. This title offers an account of the relationship between the ideology of secularism and the processes of secularization.

Trade Review
"The real strength of the book is the serious depth of its empirical research, both historical and anthropological - there is no other work that brings such a range of materials to a study of Islamism in contemporary Pakistan. This important book will interest policy professionals worldwide who are concerned with Islamic radicalism." (Aamir Mufti, University of California, Los Angeles)"
