| Abstract
|
:
|
"The central question of the Arab Spring - what democracies should look like in the deeply religious countries of the Middle East - has developed into a vigorous debate over these nations' secular identities. But what, exactly, is secularism? In Questioning Secularism, Hussein Ali Agrama tackles this question. Focusing on the fatwa councils and family law courts of Egypt just prior to the revolution, he probes the meaning of secularism itself and the ambiguities that lie at its heart, navigating a complex landscape between private and public domains in order to understand the deeper significance if secularism as it affects the most prized freedoms of a citizenry today"--Page 4 of cover.
