Empire and Jihad : the Anglo-Arab wars of 1870-1920 (engelsk)


Beskrivelse


An account of the clash between British imperialism and Arab jihadism in Africa between 1870 and 1920. Far from being an enduring remnant of the medieval past, or an essential expression of Muslim identity, Faulkner argues that "Holy War" was a reactionary response to the violence of modern imperialism.
