Book Description
Incorporating a rich series of case-studies covering a range of geographical areas, this collection of essays examines the history of modern intellectuals in the Islamic world throughout the twentieth century. The contributors reassess the typology and history of various scholars, providing significant diachronic analysis of the different forms of communication, learning, and authority. While each chapter presents a separate regional case, with an historically and geographically different background, the volume discloses commonalities, similarities and intellectual echoes through its comparative approach. Consisting of two parts, the volume focuses first on al-Manar, the influential journal published between 1898 and 1935 that inspired much imagination and arguments among local intelligentsias all over the Islamic world. The second part discusses the formation, transmission and transformation of learning and authority, from the Middle East to Central and Southeast Asia. Constituting a milestone in comparative studies of the modern Islamic world, this book highlights the range of and transformation in the role of intellectuals in Islamic societies.

The Islamic Movement in North Africa
Author: François Burgat
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
French social scientist Francois Burgat and Time correspondent William Dowell collaborated in 1993 to produce an English translation of Burgat's L'Islamisme au Maghreb. That highly acclaimed work, published in Paris in 1988, was one of the first studies to probe the complexity and diversity of the Islamic movement through interviews with and speeches of the members and founders of the movement -- in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. Burgat and Dowell's edition offered results of new research not included in the 1988 French publication. Now Burgat has added an epilogue, describing the turbulent Algerian situation through the summer of 1996. This new edition also includes a much needed index to help readers locate the many primary sources cited in the book. The Institut de Recherches et d'Etudes sur le Monde Arabe et Musulman at the Universite d'Aix-Marseille and the French Ministry of Culture cooperated with the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas at Austin in the translation and production of this seminal resource on contemporary Maghrebi political culture.

What Politics?
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004356363
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
What Politics? Youth and Political Engagement in Africa examines the diverse experiences of being young in today’s Africa. It offers new perspectives to the roles and positions young people take to change their life conditions both within and beyond the formal political structures and institutions. The contributors represent several social science disciplines, and provide well-grounded qualitative analyses of young people’s everyday engagements by critically examining dominant discourses of youth, politics and ideology. Despite focusing on Africa, the book is a collective effort to better understand what it is like to be young today, and what the making of tomorrow’s yesterday means for them in personal and political terms. Contributors are: Ehaab Abdou, Abebaw Yirga Adamu, Henni Alava, Päivi Armila, Randi Rønning Balsvik, Jesper Bjarnesen, Þóra Björnsdóttir, Jónína Einarsdóttir, Tilo Grätz, Nanna Jordt Jørgensen, Marko Kananen, Sofia Laine, Naydene de Lange, Afifa Ltifi, Ivo Mhike, Claudia Mitchell, Relebohile Moletsane, Danai S. Mupotsa, Elina Oinas, Henri Onodera, Eija Ranta, Mounir Saidani, Mariko Sato, Loubna H. Skalli, Tiina Sotkasiira, Abdoulaye Sounaye, Leena Suurpää, and Mulumebet Zenebe. What Politics?

Religious Minorities in Iran
Author: Eliz Sanasarian
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 113942985X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Eliz Sanasarian's book explores the political and ideological relationship between non-Muslim religious minorities in Iran and the state during the formative years of the Islamic Republic to the present day. Her analysis is based on a detailed examination of the history and experiences of the Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Jews, Zoroastrians, Bahais and Iranian Christians, and describes how these communities have responded to state policies regarding minorities. Many of her findings are constructed out of personal interviews with members of these communities. While the book is essentially an empirical study, it also highlights more general questions associated with exclusion and marginalization and the role of the state in defining these boundaries. This is an important and original book which will make a significant contribution to the literature on minorities and to the workings of the Islamic Republic.
