Based on interviews with upper-middle-class Egyptian Muslims, Is God for Revolution? explores the ways in which political participation in the 2011 Egyptian revolution—and the emotions that came with it—changed the landscape of religious discourse and practice. In the wake of the uprising, Nareman Amin shows, revolutionary feelings—notably hope, disappointment, doubt, shock, and anger—transformed their understandings of what it means to identify as pious Muslims.

Is God for Revolution? is a story about post-revolutionary agency, the emotional toll that this democratic experiment had on those who believed in the revolution and its ideals, and the transformative power of this agency and emotion on young revolutionaries’ attitudes toward religious authorities and religious beliefs and practices.
