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. 410 0$aCambridge Middle East studies ;$v25. 606 $aDissenters$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aPolitical culture$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aIslam and politics$zSaudi Arabia 607 $aSaudi Arabia$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aSaudi Arabia$xIntellectual life$y21st century 607 $aSaudi Arabia$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aDissenters 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aIslam and politics 676 $a320.9538 700 $aAl-Rasheed$b Madawi$0674715 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457812703321 996 $aContesting the Saudi state$91899798 997 $aUNINA
