In Saudi Arabia there are now open debates about religion and politics, often in violation of official taboos. Madawi Al-Rasheed explores this phenomenon, and how, in consequence and with the rise of multiple interpretations of religious texts, the traditional Wahhabi discourse is losing its hold on the new generation.

'This is an extraordinarily interesting and highly nuanced book, a welcome relief from the conventional journalistic banalities about 'Islam' and 'Saudi Arabia' which substitute for proper analysis in the media, or even on some of the lower foothills of academia.' Peter Sluglett, University of Utah, Salt Lake City
'... the book is essential reading to understand the medley of tensions buzzing away in a society that remains so opaque to outsiders. A hundred years ago the Raj was able to shape our conceptual vocabulary and succeeded in associating Wahhabism with malevolence. Today we have a better understanding of hegemonic discourses and can be wary of the traps.' Salaam
'... even when her book deals with relatively worn ground, the perspective she takes allows new insights. ... Contesting the Saudi State succeeds admirably, and deserves the widest possible readership.' www.saudidebate.com
'... it is a thought-provoking effort, which will interest all those who want to study the role of Saudi Arabia in the regional or international context.' Ather Zaidi, Islamic Studies
