In Quest of Justice provides the first full account of the
establishment and workings of a new kind of state in Egypt in the
modern period. Drawing on groundbreaking research in the Egyptian
archives, this highly original book shows how the state affected
those subject to it and their response. Illustrating how shari'a
was actually implemented, how criminal justice functioned, and how
scientific-medical knowledges and practices were introduced, Khaled
Fahmy offers exciting new interpretations that are neither colonial
nor nationalist. Moreover he shows how lower-class Egyptians did
not see modern practices that fused medical and legal purposes in
new ways as contrary to Islam. This is a major contribution to our
understanding of Islam and modernity.
