Toby Matthiesen Boeken

    1 januari 1984

    Toby Matthiesen duikt in de ingewikkelde dynamiek van de islamitische wereld en het Midden-Oosten, met een focus op de diepgewortelde oorzaken van sektarisme en de politieke betrokkenheid van minderheidsgemeenschappen. Zijn onderzoek onderzoekt kritisch hoe staten omgaan met interne onrust en bredere regionale omwentelingen. Matthiesen's werk biedt lezers een diepgaand inzicht in de complexe wisselwerking tussen identiteit, politiek en maatschappelijke verandering in de Golfregio. Zijn academische werk biedt essentiële context voor hedendaagse geopolitieke kwesties.

      "The authoritative account of Islam's schism that for centuries has shaped events in the Middle East and the Islamic world. In 632, soon after the Prophet Muhammad died, a struggle broke out among his followers as to who would succeed him. Most Muslims argued that the leader of Islam should be elected by the community's elite and rule as Caliph. They would later become the Sunnis. Others--who would become known as the Shia--believed that Muhammad had designated his cousin and son-in-law Ali as his successor, and that henceforth Ali's offspring should lead as Imams. This dispute over who should guide Muslims, the Caliph or the Imam, marks the origin of the Sunni-Shii split in Islam. Toby Matthiesen explores this hugely significant division from its origins to the present day."--Dust jacket flap
