Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe New Muslim Brotherhood in the West sheds considerable light on an especially poorly understood phenomenon. Lorenzo Vidino is to be commended for producing a comprehensive overview that is likely to become the standard text on this subject. -- Bruce Hoffman, Georgetown University, author of Inside Terrorism Lorenzo Vidino's illuminating book nicely outlines the challenges faced by Western governments in trying to pursue counter-radicalization policies within their own Muslim populations. Vidino provides a well-informed, thoughtful, and balanced analysis of the dilemmas posed by the potential threat of domestic extremism. -- Steven Miller, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University Though he remains a sceptic, he provides a wealth of information to let the rest of us make up our minds. Economist Mr. Vidino's book is essential reading for those concerned about understanding its past past and future activities and directions. -- Joshua Sinai Washington Times ...informative, well-written... Choice ...this volume is a key addition to the literature and a must read for students, academics and practitioners who are interested in understanding an organization that has assumed the role of spokesperson for the ever growing Western Muslim community. -- Lavinia Stan European Legacy
