Abstract

Building on his successful book, The First Islamist Republic, Abdullahi A. Gallab's Their Second Republic: Islamism in the Sudan from Disintegration to Oblivion deals with Islamism, its representations, history, and transformations in the region. Continuing the study of Islamism in power the book affirms the continuous disintegration of the Islamist movement in the Sudan taking a critical look at its institutions and their ideological and rhetoricalstances. The book provides an entry point into Hasan al–Turabi's Islamism, its local regimes and their disintegration. The book addresses the profound transformations that stem from the anachronistic qualities of political Islam as it deploys violence to maintain power. Gallab describes this as savage separation of religion and state. The main focus of the book is to provide a socio–historical analysis of developments and transformations of historic forms of Islamism and its ˵runaway˶ world as well as situating it in its local and global contexts.
