Abdullah Al-Faki Al-Bashir offers a critical reading of the positions held by Sudanese intellectuals regarding the controversial thinker Mahmoud Mohamed Taha and his 'New Understanding of Islam.' The book meticulously analyzes the historical record, arguing that many intellectuals later falsified or altered their stances on Taha's ideas, especially after his execution. Al-Bashir delves into the political and ideological motivations behind these changing narratives, exposing what he considers a significant distortion of modern Sudanese intellectual history. It's an in-depth examination of a pivotal figure and the intellectual community's complex relationship with his legacy.
