"Salafism is one of the most important and pervasive currents in the Muslim world and yet it remains among the least understood aspects of contemporary Islam. Laurent Bonnefoy's masterful Salafism in Yemen goes a long way towards remedying this problem. Refuting the common misunderstanding of Salafism as a Saudi export, Bonnefoy's work explores the complex interplay between local norms and transnational religious discourse."--Peter Mandaville, author of Global Political Islam and Associate Professor of Government & Islamic Studies, George Mason University
'Salafism in Yemen draws on impressive Arabic language skills and extensive fieldwork. In a subject area where difficulty of access and sheer divergence of worldviews can sometimes leave researchers seeming rather detached from their subject matter, it is encouraging to find Bonnefoy telling us early on that his understanding of Salafism in Yemen was informed not only by perusing magazines, pamphlets, recorded sermons and so on, but also by qat chews, outings and table tennis matches with Salafi aquaintances, as well as with the Salafs' opponents. This ethnographic component allows him to shift between macro- and microlevel analysis in ways that enrich his arguments enormously." -- Asian Studies Journal
