Aujourd'hui, l'alchimie sociale de Marseille intrigue et suscite de nombreuses questions. Pourquoi, avec un taux de chômage proche du double de la moyenne nationale, et des milliers de familles sous le seuil de pauvreté, la ville n'a-t-elle jamais explosé ? Comment se fait-il qu'il n'y ait pas de banlieues ? Pourquoi l'intégration des immigrés semble s'y passer plutôt bien ? Comment finalement se résolvent les tensions sociales ? A partir de plusieurs enquêtes de terrain, les auteurs tentent de répondre à ces questions, et dégagent les caractéristiques de la communauté marseillaise et de sa culture locale.

Why and how did Islam become such a political force in so many Muslim-majority countries? In this book, Jocelyne Cesari investigates the relationship between modernization, politics, and Islam in Muslim-majority countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Tunisia, and Turkey - countries that were founded by secular rulers and have since undergone secularized politics. Cesari argues that nation-building processes in these states have not created liberal democracies in the Western mold, but have instead spurred the politicization of Islam by turning it into a modern national ideology. Looking closely at examples of Islamic dominance in political modernization, this study provides a unique overview of the historical and political developments from the end of World War II to the Arab Spring that have made Islam the dominant force in the construction of the modern states, and discusses Islam's impact on emerging democracies in the contemporary Middle East.
