Anouar Majid

Unveiling Traditions

Postcolonial Islam in a Polycentric World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This excellent book is full of passionate, polemical scholarship. Majid covers a wide-ranging territory--the persistence of 'orientalist' discourse, 'Arab' nationalism, 'Islamic fundamentalism, ' postcolonial criticism, a critique of capitalism, contemporary Muslim feminist scholarship, and (black) African novels from Islamic cultural backgrounds. This timely book will make a significant contribution to current debates about progressive social, political, and cultural directions."-- Abdul JanMohamed, University of California, Berkeley
