dc.descriptionThis dissertation focuses primarily on the dimension of religious “revelation”, faith and discourse as this is reflected in the discourse of Jordanian Muslim voluntary welfare associations as well as translated into practice. The aim is to analyze the degree to which discourses and practices reflect and uphold patterns of patronage and/or empowerment. When the former is true, relationships of dependency are reinforced through practices of aid, cultural activity and education; when the latter describes the nature of these discourses and practices, the beneficiaries may hope to become relatively autonomous and self-reliant citizens. Related to this issue is the question of the impact of traditional socio-cultural patterns on the one hand and modernization processes on the other. The same goes for the issue of individual autonomy versus collective identity.-
