This book is not a typical biography of Hasan al-Turabi. It is a
project in the study of a Sudanese human experience at the heart of
which Hasan al-Turabi was an actor, a victim and a victimizer.
Hasan al-Turabi, the rise and fall of his Islamism, and the
dramatic life of generations of the Sudanese community of state
that link the underlying causes to the capacity of the state not
only as a throwback to oppression and exploitation of the colonial
state but also accompanied by an alarming persistence of violence
and corruption that exists within the wilding and greed of
al-Turabi's Islamists. Here, the Sudanese experience of al-Turabi
Islamism stands as a very important one in the history of the
Sudan, the region, and in general. This not because of its success
but because of its total failure. It proved that what has been
advocated as al-Islam howa al-Hal (Islam is the solution) turned
into violence is the solution. Hence, what the Sudanese Islamism
(al-Turabi Islamism) presented to the world that such a state, is
itself an unachievable idea neither by default nor by design. It is
as Hasan al-Turabi himself has stated that his Islamists "tarnished
the Image of Islam." Hasan al-Turabi endured more suffering under
the hands of his merciless disciples more than he suffered from his
enemies. Gallab argues that Islamism like other isms is crucible
for violence and evil. Nevertheless, al-Turabi remains an albatross
around the neck of the Islamist movement; the Islamist movement
remains as an albatross around his neck too. This book illuminates
al-Turabi's life, the human experience of his generation and his
Islamists by brining into sharp focus a-Turabi the man and his
time, without reproducing a giant of either one of them.
