• Foreword; 1. The Late Ottoman intellectual tradition: a historiographical review; 2. Ottoman exiles: from Constantinople to Cairo; 3. Ottoman scholars and their reception of Muhammed 'Abduh; 4. The Salafi revolution: Kevseri's defence of Sunni traditionalism; 5. Nation state, Islamic state: the Egypt exiles and new political imaginaries; 6. The Late Ottomans' impact on modern Islamic thought; Appendices.

'With impressive language skills and theoretical perspectives, Hammond offers a much-needed correction to the historiography of modern Muslim intellectual history. By orienting our gaze to the linkages between the imperial Ottoman debates on reforming the Islamic tradition and the Egyptian intellectual circles of the interwar period, Hammond offers one of the most original insights on the roots of Cold War-era Islamist thought.'
