Islamic Movements in Egypt

Egypt has been one of the most important intellectual and cultural centers of the Arab-Islamic world. The book's author, Salih al-Verdani, presents and analyses the origins, supporters, and obstacles of those Islamic movements opposing the status quo in Egypt, as well as their organizational dynamics and social interests. He examines these movements, from the Muslim Brotherhood to Salafis, and explains their attitudes vis-à-vis Islamic movements in Palestine and Iran.
