Recenzii
'Meir Hatina's Martyrdom in Modern Islam is a remarkable study. Using primary and secondary sources in Arabic, English and Hebrew, which are employed through socio-political and cultural contexts, Hatina provides a comprehensive analysis of modern Islamic martyrdom and the historical events that shaped the concept.' Isaac Kfir, Journal of Islamic Studies
'This eclectic book synthesizes a large body of research on the phenomenon of self-sacrifice. It offers the reader a comprehensive treatment of a subject that, perhaps unfortunately, remains timely and relevant for scholarly and policy communities concerned about resurgent violence in the Muslim world. In a single volume, Meir Hatina explores martyrdom in religious and secular struggles; Islamic and non-Islamic societies; Sunni and Shiite traditions; classical Islamic jurisprudence and modern Islamist ideology; and national and transnational conflicts.' Mohammed M. Hafez, Perspectives on Politics
'[This book] is a well-written and comprehensive study of the historical and contemporary dimensions of martyrdom in Islamic thought, one that is firmly situated within the broader Abrahamic tradition and theoretical understandings of martyrdom as a form of witnessing and preaching. Hatina makes extensive use of both key primary and secondary sources as well, providing one of the best studies of the topic that has yet to be published.' Christopher Anzalone, The Muslim World Book Review
