However, as Madawi al-Rasheed explains in a fascinating exploration of Saudi Arabia in the twenty-first century, even Saudis do not agree on their meaning. Under the influence of mass education, printing, new communication technology, and global media, they are forming their own conclusions and debating religion and politics in traditional and novel venues, often violating official taboos and the conservative values of the Saudi society. Drawing on classical religious sources, contemporary readings and interviews, Al-Rasheed presents an ethnography of consent and contest, exploring the fluidity of the boundaries between the religious and political. Bridging the gap between text and context, the author also examines how states and citizens manipulate religious discourse for purely political ends, and how this manipulation generates unpredictable reactions whose control escapes those who initiated them.Cambridge Middle East studies ;25.DissentersSaudi ArabiaPolitical cultureSaudi ArabiaIslam and politicsSaudi ArabiaSaudi ArabiaIntellectual life20th centurySaudi ArabiaIntellectual life21st centurySaudi ArabiaPolitics and government21st centuryDissentersPolitical cultureIslam and politics320.9538Al-Rasheed Madawi674715UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457812703321Contesting the Saudi state1899798UNINA
