Shakespeare and Terrorism

'Islam Issa is one of the stars of his generation. Fluent and equable, original and sage, his work floods the topics he turns to with startling, exhilarating light.'

Ewan Fernie, Fellow and Chair, The Shakespeare Institute

'I have long been a serious fan of Islam Issa and his fresh, open and unflinching perspective on Shakespeare. The illuminating clarity he brings to Shakespeare's resonance and difficulty across cultures and histories is making an essential contribution to twenty-first-century Shakespeareans.'

Erica Whyman OBE, Deputy Artistic Director, Royal Shakespeare Company

'Islam Issa has a profound understanding of the relationship between culture and our intellectual, social, and political values. His groundbreaking work has important significance for the development of international understanding and for the furtherance of humane values.'
