Global Salafism: Islam's New Religious Movement

This is a standard scholarly edited volume, with named specialist contributors surveying Salafism as a global Islamic movement, each addressing its theology, politics or regional variation from their own documented area of research rather than one editor summarizing the whole movement secondhand. That contributor-by-contributor specialist method is the volume's real evidentiary basis. This record states its own limit plainly: coverage of any one aspect or region of Salafism depends entirely on which chapter addresses it, so a topic no chapter treats in depth is not covered here at all. Use it for established scholarly facts about a covered aspect of Salafism that a specific chapter directly addresses.
