The Pioneers of Islamic Revival is a 1994 book edited by Ali Rahnema in which the authors examine prominent figures in the modern Islamic political revival.
The book has been reviewed in Middle Eastern Studies, Review of Middle East Studies and International Socialism.[1] [2] [3]
Chris Harman believes that this book is welcome because many liberals who "lump all strands of political Islam (or ‘Islamism’) together", show a complete ignorance of "the history of political Islam and of the myriad of different organisations and beliefs that fall under that title today."
John Cooper calls the book "a judicious and well-conceived collection" which is useful for anyone "concerned with the politics of the modern Islamic world".
