About this book
Reviews
“Using an innovative framework, Geri explores how two young Muslim democracies adopted starkly different approaches to minority rights. Richly descriptive, erudite, and historically grounded, Dr. Geri’s book illuminates how young democracies everywhere wrestle with questions of identity, distinctiveness, cohesion, and individual liberty.” (David Earnest, Odeen-Swanson Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of South Dakota, USA)
“Everyone with an interest in understanding crumbling democracies, insufficient politics of assimilation and multiculturalism as well as the all too often repressive outcomes will benefit from Geri’s comparison of lessons for mainstream theory and policies from the cases analyzed. Thanks to his path-breaking study, additional dynamics of class, movements and democratization may now be added.” (Olle Törnquist, Professor of Political Science and Development Research, University of Oslo, Norway)
