Recenzje

"Dawood's Rashid al-Ghannushi A Key Muslim Thinker of the 21st Century is a perceptive addition to previous works on Ghannouchi; an interesting and thought-provoking work that will prove helpful for everyone, and anyone, interested in knowing the life, works, activities, thought, and 'transformations' of Ghannouchi from an 'Islamist' activist to a moderate political leader and thinker. Or in a nutshell, it is clear-cut read on the thought, legacy and activities of Ghannouchi from a 'Democrat within Islamism' to a 'Muslim Democrat'."
