Sociologie religieuse de l'islam politique au Maroc


Sociétés, Espaces, Temps



In this volume, the author examines the place of followers of the Muslim faith in Moroccan civil society and provides some answers by means of a fascinating field survey involving the two main Islamic movements in Morocco. An active participant in the Arab Spring, and himself a product of the Moroccan democratic and secular Left, Youssef Belal shows, through religious sociology which takes into account practical forms of mobilisation, that Islam is not incompatible with democracy. He also demonstrates that the form of political Islam which has developed in Morocco, whether in the form of monarchy or so-called Islamist movements, plays a major role in the rationalisation and secularisation of society in the country.
