Konrad Pędziwiatr, »Przemiany islamizmów w Egipcie i Tunezji w cieniu Arabskiej Wiosny«, Zakład Wydawniczy Nomos, Kraków 2019, 298 s.
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Wach, Dominik
The review concerns a monograph on the transformation of Islamic movements in Egypt and Tunisia and their politicization, in particular after the Arab revolutions (»Arab Spring«). The monograph presents an interdisciplinary approach to the discussed issues, but concentrates in particular on the achievements of social movement studies as well as studies of political Islam. The strength of the reviewed publication is also the analysis of the material obtained by the author during field research and interviews with the leaders of the Islamic movements and experts in the field of political Islam. Thanks to numerous fragments of interviews quoted in the book, as well as the publication of some of them selected in full, it aspires to enter the canon of publications about Islamism and broadly speaking policies in the Middle East and North Africa. Right balance between theory and practice further increases the attractiveness of the book.

Muzułmańska mniejszość Czam w Kambodży – odrodzenie po ludobójstwie
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Brataniec, Katarzyna Agnieszka
The article describes the place of Cham's Muslim minority in Cambodia as a different ethnic and religious group. Cham people are members of three Muslim groups, who not share the same origin. Nevertheless they suffered the similar fate as the rest of the society during the Khmer Rouge era. As Muslims, Chams were considered a threat to the communist leadership and its policy of collectivization. Despite the fact, that all cultural and material property was destroyed and almost the half of the community was murdered, Chams rebuilt mosques, religious buildings and Koranic schools being supported by Muslim governments from South East Asia and the Middle East. Most Cambodian Muslims consider themselves Shafi'i Sunnis, and followers of the Shafi'i school of Sunni law.

The crisis of religious intolerance in contemporary Indonesia – a phenomenon of the Islamic housing industry and its impact on social life
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Piosik, Monika
In the last few years Indonesia has been experiencing a new wave of Muslim revival. In addition to the growing popularity of conservative and even radical Muslim ideologies such as Wahhabism and Salafism, this de facto multi-religious society is facing a strong trend towards religious segregation. Indonesians are looking for new forms of their religious manifestation and expressions of their piety. One of the most vivid examples of Muslim separation from other religions is the perumahan syariah, a new form of gated communities in Indonesia. The article describes the growing phenomenon of closed neighborhoods where residents' lives are restricted by Sharia law. The paper first describes the roots of the current religious revival and its impact on the social situation, then deepens the definition of gated communities in the context of perumahan syariah as well as controversies linked to the topic. In conclusion, the possible implications for social life in Indonesia are presented.

Wybrane aspekty świata islamu i muzułmanów
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Stojkow, Maria
The relatively significant rise in the number of the Muslims in the modern world, the migration crisis and the activity of various Islamic extremist groups make the Muslims a subject of political debate in many countries, including these where the Muslim dispora is small. Many issues related to Islam and the Muslims living in both Muslim countries and diasporas around the world are still unknown to the wider public. The issues related to the revival of Islam in places where it has been completely uprooted for some time, the issues of the presence and the rights of various discriminated groups as well as gender discrimination are becoming important topics in the scientific discussion about the world today. The same is true for the media and literature.
