Gilles Kepel takes us into the world of the students, professionals, workers, and unemployed who are caught up in the Islamic movements of Egypt. Events that have riveted world attention - the first World Trade Center bombing, assassinations in Beirut, the attempt on the life of the Pope, the assassination of Sadat, and, in a new preface, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 - are illuminated by this penetrating study.

“A Meteor of Intelligent Substance”“Something was Missing in our Culture, and Here It Is”“Liberties sure is needed in these times.”In a short time since its launch, Liberties - A Journal of Culture and Politics, a quarterly, has become essential reading for those engaged in the cultural and political issues and causes of our time. The writers in Liberties offer deep experience from across borders, national identities, political affiliations and artistic achievements. As the introductory essay in the inaugural edition noted, “At this journal we are betting on what used to be called the common reader, who would rather reflect than belong and asks of our intellectual life more than a choice between orthodoxies.”Each issue of Liberties features original in-depth essays and compelling new poetry from some of the world's most significant writers, artists, and scholars, as well as introducing new talent, to inspire and impact the intellectual and creative lifeblood of today’s culture and politics. This spring issue of Liberties includes: Giles Kepel on the Murder of Samuel PatyIngrid Rowland’s Long Live the Classics!Vladimir Kara-Murza Surviving Putin’s PoisonsPaul Starr on Reckoning with National Failure from CovidBecca Rothfeld on Today's Sanctimony LiteratureEnrique Krauze explores What is Latin America?William Deresiewicz on Why Great Visual Art Forces Us to Think; Benjamin Moser on Rediscovering Frans HalsDavid Nirenberg on What We Can Learn from Earlier PlaguesAgnes Callard’s view of Romance without Love, Love without RomanceMitchell Abidor looks back to “Social Media” in 1895 to Understand a Crowd’s “Wisdom”The Tallis Scholars' Peter Phillips on the Secrets of JosquinDavid Thomson on Movies’ Poetic DesirePoetry from Henri Cole, Chaim Nachman Bialik, and Paul Muldoon Leon Wieseltier (editor) asks "Where Are the Americans?” And Celeste Marcus (managing editor) writes for a Pluralistic Heart.
