Nationalism and Minority Identities in Islamic Societies cover

The movement of nation building in Islamic societies away from the secular models of the early 20th century was accompanied by growing antagonism between the Muslim majority and religious minorities. This title offers a comparative analysis of how these minorities developed their own distinctive identities within the modern Islamic nation-state.Leading scholars examine how the radicalization of Islamic Nationalism has undermined ethnic minority communities in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia.
