1. The specific conditions under which Shiite militant movements emerge are discussed in Juan R. I. Cole and Nikki R. Keddie, eds., Shi'ism and Social Protest (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1986). Others have looked at the conditions under which Islamic movements emerge in North Africa; see, for instance, Susan Walz, “Islamist Appeal in Tunisia,” Middle East Journal, vol. 40 (1986); Jean-Claude Vatin, “Popular Puritanism versus State Reformism: Islam in Algeria,” in Islam in the Political Process, ed. James P. Piscatori (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1983). Abdelkader Zghal sees the Islamicist phenomenon as “a component of the ideology and the dynamics of nationalist movements.” Zghal, “The New Strategy of the Movement of the Islamic Way: Manipulation or Expression of Political Culture,” in Tunisia: The Political Economy of Reform, ed.
