Description
Résumé :
Contemporary Islamism is a complex notion encompassing a constellation of social political religious and ideological ideas that have evolved over the past two hundred years. These ideas have dramatically shaped modern and contemporary Arab societies but they are little understood in the West._x000D_

The Contemporary Arab Reader on Political Islam corrects this at a stroke. It brings together the writings of highly influential figures in the field of Islamism in the contemporary Arab world many of whose writings have never been available before in English. Addressing the key issues such as Shari’ah human rights civil society secularism globalisation and ummah and the impact of the West on the modern Arab world this is the perfect starting point for students and academics looking to understand Political Islam in contemporary Arab and Muslim societies._x000D_
