Report

"This book brings much needed clarity to the history of Salafism and revises common accounts of this little known but much talked about Islamic intellectual trend. Henri Lauzière has skillfully fleshed out the genealogy of Salafism, and this work will have an important impact on the field of the history of ideas in the modern Muslim world."
