Recenzje

Mandaville's timely and important volume brings together uniquely qualified scholars providing nuanced analyses of Saudi Arabia's religious transnationalism. Offering an essential corrective to simplistic stereotypes of global Wahhabi influence, Wahhabism and the World guides readers through the complexities and dynamic nature of Saudi Arabia's global religious engagement. The chapters explore the rationales, impacts, and ongoing evolution of religious activities supported by the kingdom in critical areas around the world, focusing particularly on issues of religious tolerance and human rights.
