Reviews
'Amidst the frenzy of scholarship and commentary on contemporary Islamism, Andrea Mura's The Symbolic Scenarios of Islamism distinguishes itself by offering a deeply insightful exploration of Islamism understood as political thought and as the basis of political identity. Undoubtedly one of the most original treatments of the subject to appear in recent years.' Peter Mandaville, George Mason University, USA 'The strength of the book lies in bringing complexity, nuance and an appreciation of historical difference to that over-loaded, over-simplified and now sadly ubiquitous term 'Islamism'. His individual approach to three distinct figures within that bloated term is long overdue amongst Western theorists.' Ian Almond, Georgetown University, Qatar
