Opis

A wide-ranging account of the Muslim Brotherhood's long history and complex relationship with the Jordanian state, parliament and society since its founding in 1945, showing the ideological and behavioural development of a group which relies on age-old concepts derived from classical Islam to influence beliefs in the modern-day nation-state.

Recenzje

'Joas Wagemakers is already regarded as a premier scholar of Salafism and other aspects of Islamism, but this book will only add to his record. This book will deservedly be seen as one of the definitive works on the Muslim Brotherhood, on Islamism, and on Jordan for years to come.' Curtis R. Ryan, Appalachian State University
