In his groundbreaking work, "In Quest of Justice," Khaled Fahmy offers a comprehensive and insightful account of the establishment and functioning of a new type of state in Egypt during the modern period. Drawing upon extensive research in Egyptian archives, Fahmy presents a highly original perspective on how this state impacted its subjects and their responses. Through vivid illustrations, he demonstrates how sharia was implemented, how criminal justice systems operated, and how scientific-medical knowledge and practices were introduced. Fahmy's interpretations are remarkable for their avoidance of both colonial and nationalist biases, providing fresh and exciting insights into the complex interplay between Islam and modernity.
Moreover, he challenges the notion that lower-class Egyptians viewed modern practices that fused medical and legal purposes in new ways as inherently contradictory to Islamic principles. This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Islam and modernity, offering a valuable perspective on the historical and social dynamics of Egypt during this transformative period.
In conclusion, "In Quest of Justice" is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complex relationship between Islam, modernity, and the state in Egypt. Khaled Fahmy's meticulous research and insightful analysis provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of this critical period in history.
