Religion and State in Syria
The Sunni Ulama from Coup to Revolution
Cambridge Middle East Studies
Apraksts
The first comprehensive study of Syria's religious scene and the Sunni ulama. This book shows how the secular, non-Sunni Ba'thist regime has been compelled to bring the clergy into the political fold. Pierret affords a new perspective on Syrian society now at the crossroads of political, social and religious fragmentation.
