The first comprehensive study of Syria's religious scene and the Sunni ulama. This book shows how the secular, non-Sunni Ba'thist regime has been compelled to bring the clergy into the political fold. Pierret affords a new perspective on Syrian society now at the crossroads of political, social and religious fragmentation.
