Guests of God: Pilgrimage and Politics in the Islamic World
Bianchi, Robert R. (Formerly Associate Professor of Political Science, Formerly Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago)
While the hajj is first and foremost a religious festival, it is also very much a political event. Every large Muslim state has developed a comprehensive hajj policy and a powerful bureaucracy to enforce it. This work argues, no secular or religious authority - national or international - can really control the hajj.
