Samina Yasmeen is Director of the Centre for Muslim States and Societies and teaches Political Science and International Relations at the University of Western Australia, Perth. She has conducted extensive research on Islamisation, jihadism and women in Pakistan, as well as Muslim citizenship in Western liberal societies.

Acutely observed, subtly argued, and always informed. Yasmeen skillfully charts and contextualises the evolution of two groups generally neglected by the literature on political Islam. Given the widespread anxiety over jihadism, a nuanced discussion of its evolved meanings and relationship to other forms of Islamic activism is both needed and timely.
