Reviews

Public Freedoms in the Islamic State

“Rached Ghannouchi is one of the most influential, most interesting, and most promising thinkers and leaders of political Islam today. Finally, the magnum opus of his political thought on public and personal freedom is available in English. It is an important document for how human rights and freedoms can be squared with the claims of Islamic political movements.”

On Muslim Democracy: Essays and Dialogues

While the book can be characterised in part as post-Islamism literature, which seeks to understand social, intellectual and political changes and dynamics after Islamist idealism has come and gone, it also offers an alternative vision for democracy, which exists outside Western intellectual norms, while also thinking about what those Western norms mean in the context of a Muslim democratic framework.
