In-depth study of diverse Shi'a groups, from Iraq to Aghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon and Senegal, and their relations with Iran. Contributors include Olivier Roy, Alessandro Monsutti, Joseph Alagha, Kinda Chaib, Thierry Zarcone, Mara A. Leichtman, Pierre-Jean Luizard, Peter Harling and Mariam Abou Zahab.
From Africa to Asia, there are areas that are home to minority and in some cases majority groups of Twelver Shia. Geography and history place Iran at the centre of these Shia worlds, but to what extent can we speak of an ''Iranian model'' that these groups follow? This volume presents the Shi''a worlds in all their complexities and explores the tenuous relations between these groups and Iran. It also sheds light on little-known communities such as the Ironi Shi''a of Uzbekistan, and refines our understanding of groups studied more extensively like the Shia''s in Iraq. Published in association with the Institut Francais du Proche-Orient.
