The Muslim Speaks

A highly ambitious and original, epistemic inquiry Offers an Islamic and cosmopolitan, critique and reconstruction of modearnity and 'the West'.Offers an entirely new way of organising the archive of Islamic thought over the last century and a half.Contributes to a broadening of the study of Islam.Provides an in-depth exploration of Muslim history and identity with a humanistic focus on the place of Muslims in the wider world that they now inhabit.Provocatively argues that while islamophobia is clearly a moral wrong, ‘depoliticization’ more accurately describes the problem associated with the lived experience of Muslims in the West and elsewhere.Boldly argues for a re politicization of Islam.Complements the philosophical and religious approach to the study of ethics with a sociological history of ideas.Uses feminist and critical race theory to reflect on the complexities and contradictions of human identity.
