Studies the impact neo-traditionalism has on the religious and political subjectivities of Muslims in the West Shows the importance of neo-traditionalism in the changing conceptions of religious orthodoxy, religious authority and spirituality for young Muslims in the West Studies primarily although not exclusively three neo-traditionalist shaykhs: Hamza Yusuf, Abdal Hakim Murad and Umar Faruq Abd-Allah Analyses how neo-traditionalist shaykhs construct the notion of 'tradition' concerning what they perceive to have been lost in modernity Examines the political implications to their critiques of modernity as it pertains to political quietism, race and gender This book examines the salience of neo-traditionalism in Anglo-American Muslim communities.

The enticement of re-enchantment, however, proves problematic in the face of modern political power.
