Hierarchy and Egalitarianism in Islamic Thought (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization) Book

By analysing a wide range of Arab and Persian literature, Louise Marlow demonstrates that Islam's initial orientation was markedly egalitarian, but the social aspect of this egalitarianism was soon undermined in the aftermath of Islam's political success.
