A landmark work in Islamic political thought, An Islamic Response to Imperialism presents the political and religious writings of Sayyid Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani, one of the nineteenth century's most influential Muslim thinkers and anti-colonial activists. Nikki R. Keddie, a preeminent scholar of Middle Eastern history, situates al-Afghani's ideas within their historical context, arguing that his ideology was a powerful intellectual response to Western imperial expansion across the Muslim world. The volume includes a translation of al-Afghani's seminal Refutation of the Materialists, rendered from the original Persian by Keddie and Hamid Algar, making key primary texts accessible to English-language readers for the first time. This authoritative collection remains an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern Islamic political thought and the complex dynamics between Islam and Western modernity.
