Inhaltsangabe

Digest of Middle East Studies- " The author...has presented an outstanding
introductory work about a complex phenomenon: the discourse between Islamic
fundamentalism and the intellectual professions in contemporary Egypt"
Middle Eastern Studies- " One may ask what distinguishes this book from
many others written on Islamic fundamentalism in Egypt.The answer is
twofold. First, the chapters on fundamentalism are based on wide
familiarity with the writings and major thinkers of this ideology,
expressed in detailed summaries and numerous quotations...Secondly, and
more significantly, the chapters on the response of secular intellectuals
in Egypt t the challenge of Islamic fundamentalism are probably the book"s
major contribution"
The Jerusalem Post- " This is an extremely useful and painstaking study
drawing largely on original Arabic sources, personal observation and
private interviews
