In this meticulously researched volume, Leonard Wood presents his ground breaking
history of Islamic revivalist thought in Islamic law. 'Islamic Legal Revival: Reception
of European Law and Transformations in Islamic Legal Thought in Egypt, 1879-1952'
brings to life the tumultuous history of colonial interventions in Islamic legal consciousness
during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It 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. Islamic legal
revivalist movements strove to develop a modern version of Islamic law that could
be codified and would replace newly imposed European laws. Wood explains in unparalleled
depth and with nuance how cutting-edge trends in European legal scholarship inspired
influential revivalists and informed their methods in legal thought. Timely and provocative,
Islamic Legal Revival tells of the rich achievements of legal experts in Egypt who
disrupted tradition in Islamic jurisprudence and created new approaches to Islamic
law that were distinctively responsive to demands of the contemporary world. 0The
story told bears important implications for understandings of Egyptian history, Islamic
legal history, comparative law, and deeply contested and highly transformative interactions
between European and Islamic thought
