The Muslim Brotherhood in Syria Paperback / softback
by Dara (Deakin University, Victoria) Conduit
Part of the Cambridge Middle East Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Having played a role in every iteration of Syrian politics since the country gained independence in 1946, the Muslim Brotherhood were the most prominent opposition group in Syria on the eve of the 2011 uprising.
But when unrest broke out in March 2011, few Brotherhood flags and slogans were to be found within the burgeoning protest movement.
Drawing on extensive primary research including interviews with Brotherhood members, Dara Conduit looks to the group's history to understand why it failed to capitalise on this advantage as the conflict unfolded, addressing significant gaps in accounts of the group's past to assess whether its reputation for violence and dogmatism is justified.
In doing so, Conduit reveals a party that was neither as violent nor as undemocratic as expected, but whose potential to stage a long-awaited comeback was hampered by the shadow of its own history.
