KlappentextThis text challenges Orientalist portrayals of Sufi and jihad-leader `Abd al-QÄdir al-JazÄ´irÄ« hinging on conversion from opposition to embrace of European values. Applying an inter-disciplinary approach to Arabic and European sources, this study advances a coherent, contextual, and continuous reading of his thought and actions.

"The study throws new light on this character's intentions, ambitions, and limitations ... it offers a re-evaluation of his life that integrates the various facets and stages of his career, resulting in ' a more conventional, more conservative, more human figure' of the man."

"Woerner-Powell ist eines der unverzichtbaren Referenzwerke, wenn es darum geht, etwas über Ê¿Abd al-QÄdir al-JazÄËirÄ« zu schreiben."

"Another Road to Damascus is a well-written, accessible, and overall compelling account of Ê¿Abd al-QÄdir´s life and deeds. It is an excellent introductory and reference work for the classroom that also raises intriguing questions about entanglements between political interests and historical scholarship in appraising the life of a prominent individual. [...] undoubtedly the most accomplished biography of Ê¿Abd al-QÄdir to date.
