A renowned authority on Islamic movements, Francois Burgat lived
for eighteen years in the Arab world, including his time as
director of the French Center for Archaeology and Social Sciences
at Yemen. He also dedicated many months to fieldwork in North
Africa. Bringing Burgat's decades of expertise to the complex
dialogues that have marked the post-9/11 world, Islamism in the
Shadow of al-Qaeda delivers much-needed clarity and historical
perspective. In Burgat's eyes, most of the West's political and
media rhetoric has only fueled al-Qaeda's case, revealing a woeful
lack of comprehension regarding the violent authoritarianism that
divides the Middle East and creates a breeding ground for
terrorism. Islamism in the Shadow of al-Qaeda provides a primer of
the three eras of political Islam, from the 1928 founding of the
Muslim Brothers to the rise of post-colonial dictatorships and the
current radicalization of "Generation al-Qaeda." Offering a new
roadmap for stability, Burgat bridges the ideologies-political,
religious, and cultural-that must be traversed if the deadly
sectarianism is to be superseded.
