The extent of the corpus of post-classical commentaries in Islam requires further

10. Articles for Edited Volume on "A History of Muslim Mobilizations"  
 
Why have so many political players opted for the use of the Islamic idiom in
politics? The aim of this volume is to provide a long-term historical perspective on
the successive phases of the latter's updating, so as to highlight the successive
modes of elaboration and reproduction of the identity alchemy at work in the choice
of the Islamic idiom.
