Islamisms: Navigations between the Nation-State and the Caliphate moves beyond viewing Islamism within the security/terrorism narrative by viewing Islamisms as various forms of postcolonial resistance to Westphalian models of governance, authority, and territorialisations.
This book engages in a creative process of historical retrieval of visions for substantive democracy and federal union during the struggle for freedom that remained unrealized during the postcolonial transition.
