As specialists are painfully aware, since 9/11 tragedy there has been flood of academic and journalistic publications that focus on aspects of Islamism and terrorism. Regrettably, however, many of these publications were produced by authors who have little or no background in either field and/or have an obvious axe to grind. Fortunately, books discussed below all offer new interpretive wrinkles, present valuable information, or provide useful overviews of topics they address. Since no single underlying theme or red thread tying them all together is apparent, they have been grouped together under either ideological heading or organizational/operational heading. IDEOLOGICAL MATTERS In From Secularism to Jihad Adnan A. Musallam, professor at Bethlehem University, provides reading and inquiry into life and (p. vii) of Sayyid Qutb, whose controversial writings have become a basic part of Islamic revival in last forty years (p. ix) and nowadays serve as a manifesto for...revolutionary Islamists (p. viii). The author's main aim is to explain evolution of Qutb's thought from secularized poet and literary critic in 1930s to Islamist ideologue in 1960s, on basis of his published books and articles dealing with politics, literature, religion, and society (p. ix), unpublished materials, and secondary studies. An introductory chapter on historical developments in Egypt between 1919 and 1952 is followed by eight chapters, each of which examines (according Musallam) distinct phase in Qutb's life and posthumous influence. There are other scholarly treatments of ideas of Sayyid Qutb available, in both Western languages and Arabic.1 However, Musallam rightly points out that many of them are exceedingly partisan and filled with inaccuracies - shortcomings that he explicitly aims to avoid. He proceeds in fairly strict chronological fashion, relating external changes and developments taking place in Egypt and broader Muslim world to Qutb's own evolution as thinker. Perhaps best way to sum up reasons behind Qutb's intellectual trajectory is that he was the product of two worlds, traditional and modern, which eventually merged into one unstable world with two conflicting worldviews... (p. 28). Qutb was born in village in Upper Egypt into middle class family whose economic situation was gradually declining, and was deeply influenced by popular Islamic culture there. His father was nationalist and his mother devout Muslim who insisted that Qutb memorize Qur'an, which he did at an early age. Yet he was sent to attend secular school (madrasa) rather than parochial Islamic school (kuttab). Although he was something of teachers' pet and wore relatively nice clothes, from an early age he developed strong sympathy for poor. …" @default.
