by Dobroslawa Wiktor-Mach
Published 10 July 2017
What happens when religious movements begin to compete with each other? What strategies are employed by actors to gain popularity? The book investigates the rise of religious pluralism inside Islam in Azerbaijan and its impact on people and religious movements. Although the traditional dominance of Shiism is challenged by Sunni movements, Shia actors are not giving up easily.
