Reviews

'an important contribution to studies of the cultural and intellectual revival of the nahda … which the Arab world witnessed in the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries … opens new perspectives for understanding the nahda.' Hilary Kilpatrick, Journal of Islamic Studies 'erudite and thought-provoking … a welcome contribution to post-national and materialist accounts of modernity in the Arab world.' Samah Selim, Global Intellectual History
