Abstract "Pahwa shows how the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood framed political work through Islamic concepts of righteous action over three decades of electoral participation and asks how a religious understanding of politics reshaped the movement's self-understanding of its mission through a constructivist analysis of hundreds of primary sources, including movement statements, speeches, writings, training materials, and interviews, in addition to secondary sources"-- Provided by publisher.
