  • - Liberal Thought and Islamic Challenge in Egypt
    av Meir Hatina
    2 130,-

    The role of Islam in the state has become one of the most contentious issues in modern Middle Eastern society.

Here Meir Hatina sheds light on the issue of Islam in the state through the prism of Egypt during the twentieth century. He traces the continuity of Egyptian liberalism, from its emergence during the first half of the century through its repression following the July 1952 revolution, to the rise of secular liberalists such as Faraj Fuda in post-revolutionary Egypt.
