Fanar Haddad is Senior Research Fellow at the Middle East Institute, National University of Singapore. He is the author of Sectarianism in Iraq, also available from Oxford University Press.
"No one has written with more theoretical and practical insight on
Muslim sectarianism than Fanar Haddad. In this volume, he brings
together the best of his insights on a topic that remains poorly
understood. An essential read for anyone who is serious about
understanding 'sectarianism' in the Arab world today."-- Nader
Hashemi, Director of the Center for Middle East Studies, University
of Denver, and co-author of Sectarianization
"A timely book that debunks several myths about the persistent
Sunni-Shia divide in the Arab world. Haddad inspires us to
reconsider common wisdom and offers a theoretically nuanced
interpretation of a phenomenon that has dominated analyses of Iraq
and beyond in the last decades."-- Madawi Al-Rasheed, Visiting
Professor, Middle East Centre, LSE, and author of Salman's
Legacy
"A thought-provoking account of Sunni-Shii relations in the Arab
world that critiques how the term 'sectarianism' has often been
used." -- Toby Matthiesen, Senior Research Fellow, St Antony's
College, University of Oxford "A brilliant exploration of
sectarianism. Haddad's unmatched combination of theoretical
sophistication, historical perspective and political insight makes
this one of the best books available on a critically important
topic, and an essential read for understanding the real dynamics of
religion, identity and political contention." -- Marc Lynch,
Professor of Political Science, George Washington University
"A clear-sighted and highly readable analysis of the shifting
contexts and meanings of sectarian identification in the modern
Arab world. Detailed and politically astute, this book makes a
critical contribution to the literature on sectarian political
identities."-- Charles Tripp, Professor of Politics, SOAS
University of London
"The book is theoretically sophisticated, engaging, and presents a
welcome challenge to established terms and the conventional
framework." -- J. Hammer, UNC Chapel Hill
