Reception
editThe book has been reviewed in Middle Eastern Studies, Review of Middle East Studies and International Socialism.[1] [2][3]
Chris Harman believes that this book is welcome because many liberals who "lump all strands of political Islam (or ‘Islamism’) together", show a complete ignorance of "the history of political Islam and of the myriad of different organisations and beliefs that fall under that title today."[1]
John Cooper calls the book "a judicious and well-conceived collection" which is useful for anyone "concerned with the politics of the modern Islamic world".[3]
