Why is it important?
By shedding light on intellectual cooperation and political fluidity between Muslim Brothers, Marxists and Sayyid Qutb in late 1940s, the article challenges conventional ways of studying Egyptian history that locate the Islamist project outside the Egyptian intellectual field.
Perspectives
This article is based on some findings of my PhD dissertation (2015, EHESS) which focused more extensively on Qutb's literary friendships and enmities.
