Abstract

This book belongs to Cuadernos de Temas Contemporáneos de Medio Oriente´s Series published by the Faculty of Political and Social Scencies of National Autonomous University of Mexico from 2019. These books aim to produce high quality material in Spanish language at the service of the university community and those interested in the complexity and exciting study of the Middle East. In this sense, Political Islam: genesis and evolution is a comprehensive guide to better understand the role of Islamists in the State and its institutions, especially in contexts of precariousness, crisis and authoritarianism that is produced with primary sources, mostly in Arabic , which constitutes in itself a solid and original methodological framework for people interested in several types of islamism.
