I’m proud of this book I wrote. It was 9 yrs of research & courage -- fieldwork & archives in 4 countries, 142 interviews, coding, and a year studying theology. I hope it reveals how God matters to people fighting for the rule of law. cambridge.org/inshallah

I share this book award with many people, starting with my mother, who helped me understand the power of religion in building the rule of law -- and building peace -- something the world could use more of right now.

Multiple UN reports cite to a "perfect storm" of tens of thousands killed, widespread gender-based violence, war crimes, malnutrition, a lack of humanitarian aid -- and more displaced children than any place on earth. This is Sudan nearing 1 year of war. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

The world's attention is elsewhere now, for very good reasons. But please do not forget Sudan, where untold horrors have taken place & little remains of Khartoum, the country's beautiful capital city on the Nile. economist.com/middle-east-an…

In the @ImmanentFrame forum on religion, law and state building, @jaklocek shows how colonial structures still shape international relations & how foreign policy doesn't grasp the ways that religion intersects with people's multidimensional identities. tif.ssrc.org/2023/10/04/col…
Mona Oraby@MonaOrabee

ICYMI The @ImmanentFrame forum on law, religion, and state building is up! With essays by @ProfMassoud, @HallidayTerry, Nadjma Yassari, @jaklocek, Jack Jin Gary Lee, and others to follow in the coming weeks. tif.ssrc.org/category/excha…

UNDUE PROCESS by @feiyonah has earned *3* big awards: APSA-IPSA Theodore J. Lowri First Book Award, Giovanni Sartori Book Award for qualitative methods, and Juan Linz Award for the Study of Democracy & Autocracy. cambridge.org/9781009197144
Mark Fathi Massoud@ProfMassoud

Why do dictators hold political trials? In *UNDUE PROCESS* @feiyonah shows how courts paradoxically prevent democratic dissent. Based on archival research in African contexts, this book is a big contribution to the study of courts across times & places.👌 cambridge.org/9781009197144

So much I like about this book! @YegorLazarev argues that states use legal pluralism & people use state law “even when it is foreign to them." Also, state transformation “can be brought from the bottom-up by … women.” Chapter 2 on methods & positionality is🔥. @CUP_PoliSci
