Book description

This book presents a critical study of citizenship, state and globalization in societies that have been historically influenced by Islamic traditions and institutions. Interrogating the work of contemporary theorists of Islamic modernity such as Mohammed Arkoun, Abdul an-Na'im, Fatima Mernissi, Talal Asad, Saba Mahmood and Aziz Al-Azmeh, this book explores the debate on Islam, democracy and modernity, contextualized within contemporary Muslim lifeworlds. These include contemporary Turkey (following the 9/11 attacks and the onset of war in Afghanistan), multicultural France (2009–10 French burqa debate), Egypt (the 2011 Tahrir Square mass mobilizations), and India. Ali Mirsepassi and Tadd Graham Fernée critique particular counterproductive ideological conceptualizations, voicing an emerging global ethic of reconciliation. Rejecting the polarized conceptual ideals of the universal or the authentic, the authors critically reassess notions of the secular, the cosmopolitan and democracy. Raising questions that cut across the disciplines of history, anthropology, sociology and law, this study articulates a democratic politics of everyday life in modern Islamic societies.

Reviews

'The book’s approach to Islamic religious tradition and its meaning in this world is materialist and sociological, articulating its experience within a broader cosmopolitan space of modern conditions.'

A. R. Abootalebi Source: Choice

' … interesting and refreshing arguments … [The book] leaves the readers with some unanswered questions, but these shortcomings do not diminish the great value of this book, which on the whole is a welcome addition to the literature on the subject and will be very useful for specialists of Islam, the Middle East, and global policymakers alike.'
