Post-Islamism

Post - Islamism: Pakistan in the Era of Neoliberal Globalization by Dr. Husnul Amin, Executive Director of the IRD explores quite assiduously this silent evolution of post-Islamism in Pakistan during 2006-2014. The book argues that it was in 1999 that postcolonial Pakistan took consciously the path of moderate Islam, recognizing the space for women, youth, and non-Muslim voices and consequently allowing pluralism to play a crucial role in the socioeconomic development and democratization of Pakistani society, says Dr. Muhammad Khalid Masud in the preface of the book. Dr. Husnul Amin says that in this book, "Islamism," "Islamic movements" and "Islamic social movements" mainly refer to those Islamic political and social forces that are engaged in their respective change strategies using peaceful and non-violent means.
