Summary:

Part of a series on contemporary Middle Eastern politics, economics, and culture, this volume on the Muslim Brotherhood examines the party's imminent rise to power in Egypt and explores the positions of the organization on a wide variety of political and social issues. Discussing whether modern party policies represent reform or simply a re-framing of prior conservative positions, the work addresses issues such as civil versus religious state structures, political pluralism, Islamic citizenship, and gender related topics. Chapters include numerous quotes from Brotherhood speeches and policy documents. Tadross is a researcher at the University of Sussex. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
