MARCH MAKERS OF THE MUSLIM WORLD This is the first series devoted to the men and women who made the Muslim world what it is today through political, social, cultural, and religious contributions from medieval times to the 20th century. Every aspect of the Muslim world is covered, from poets to scholars, religious leaders to scientists, politicians to activists. Written by experts but in clear and straightforward language, the books in this series require no knowledge of Islam and provide insight into some of the most important figures in world history. Series Editor Patricia Crone is Mellon Professor of Islamic History at Princeton University. She is one of the world’s leading authorities on Islamic history and the author of numerous books and articles on the subject. Ali Shariati Schirin Fathi Dr ‘Ali Shariati (1933-1977) provided the intellectual backbone for Iran’s 1978/1979 revolution. Creator of a new ideology, which his detractors mockingly named “Islamic Marxism”, prolific writer, impassioned orator, and enemy of the now-overthrown Pahlavi dynasty, he has been regarded by some as an unrivaled genius, and others as a charlatan. In this fascinating study of a man still notorious across the Islamic world, Schirin Fathi allows the reader to come to his or her own judgment. Schirin Fathi is Assistant Professor at the Department of History and Culture of the Middle East, Hamburg University, Germany. Mehmed Ali Khaled Fahmy Kavalali Mehmed Ali Pasha (c. 1770-1849), often dubbed “the founder of modern Egypt”, born in what is now Greece, was seemingly headed for an everyday existence as a married tobacco trader, but joined the Ottoman army at the age of thirty, and went on to become the ruler of Egypt for nearly half a century. Conqueror of Sudan and Syria, despot, and eventually a threat to the Ottoman Empire itself, he established mass industrialization and secured hereditary rule for his descendents. Khaled Fahmy is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Oxford University, UK. Series Editor Patricia Crone is Mellon Professor Islamic History at Princeton University. She is one of the world’s leading authorities on Islamic history and the author of numerous books and articles on the subject.
