This is a history of the meteoric rise of the mother organization of all modern Islamist movements, the Society of the Muslim Brothers.
Following the remarkable resurgence of Islamic political activism in recent decades, radical Islamist movements now have a presence in almost every Muslim country and form the major opposition forces to the established regimes in the Middle East. This title deepens our understanding of the influence of contemporary Islamism by providing a definitive history of the meteoric rise of the mother organization of all modern Islamist movements, the Society of the Muslim Brothers. Founded in 1928 by a young primary schoolteacher, Hasan al-Banna, the Society rose to become the largest mass movement in modern Egyptian history in less than two decades, clashing with the ruling elite on a wide range of issues. Brynjar Lia examines the socio-economic and cultural factors which facilitated the movement's expansion and analyses the keys to its success - its organization, internal structure, modes of action and recruitment techniques as well as its ideological and class appeal.
The author draws on a wealth of new sources which include material by the Society's veterans and dissidents, the Society's internal publications from the 1930s and early 1940s, a collection of Hasan al-Banna's letters to his father and security files from the Egyptian National Archives. He also makes extensive use of the Society's newspapers, memoirs of Muslim Brothers as well as British War Office and Foreign Office files. Dr Lia has spent many years in Egypt interviewing old and younger members of this influential society.
