商品簡介
This study of modern Egypt aims to open the debate regarding new terms and methods for understanding the Middle East and Islamic societies. By introducing her own methodologies and applying them to the history of modern Egypt, Sonbol (Islamic history, society, and law, Georgetown University) has produced an analytical history spanning the time of pre-Muhammad Ali to the present day. She discusses today's Islamic movement in Egypt as a revolution correcting the duality of culture that was brought about by historical events like colonialism and the importation of exogenous ideologies.
