Recenzje

Baker correctly observes that the literature on political Islam has favored analysis of radical groups and radical Islamic ideas. To the extent that there has been discussion of more moderate forces, it has focused on organizations and their political activity (for example, on the Muslim Brotherhood's rise and development) rather than on the ideas that produced these movements and shaped their development. Baker's book helps to fill this gap in the literature. It provides a rich, careful, and serious consideration of the intellectual project of reformist Islam as embodied by six prominent figures in this effort.
