Summary
Leonard Wood presents his ground breaking history of Islamic revivalist thought in Islamic law. He brings to life the tumultuous history of colonial interventions in Islamic legal consciousness during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and 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.
