Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In this meticulously researched volume, Leonard Wood presents his
ground breaking history of Islamic revivalist thought in Islamic
law. Islamic Legal Revival: Reception of European Law and
Transformations in Islamic Legal Thought in Egypt, 1879-1952 brings
to life the tumultuous history of colonial interventions in Islamic
legal consciousness during the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. It tells the story of the rapid displacement of local
Egyptian and Islamic law by transplanted European codes and details
the evolution of resultant movements to revive Islamic law. Islamic
legal revivalist movements strove to develop a modern version of
Islamic law that could be codified and would replace newly imposed
European laws. Wood explains in unparalleled depth and with nuance
how cutting-edge trends in European legal scholarship inspired
influential revivalists and informed their methods in legal
thought. Timely and provocative, Islamic Legal Revival tells of the
rich achievements of legal experts in Egypt who disrupted tradition
in Islamic jurisprudence and created new approaches to Islamic law
that were distinctively responsive to demands of the contemporary
world. The story told bears important implications for
understandings of Egyptian history, Islamic legal history,
comparative law, and deeply contested and highly transformative
interactions between European and Islamic thought.
