Product Description:
In recent years Islamic fundamentalism has grabbed the headlines as a new and grave threat to the West. Since the Second World War, Islam and politics have combined to form a potent force known as Islamic fundamentalism. Islamic Fundamentalism since 1945 analyses the roots and emergence of the new Islamic movements and the main thinkers that inspired them.
Providing a much-needed historical overview, the main facets of Islamic fundamentalism are put in a global context, with a thematic debate of issues such as:
* the effects of colonialism on Islam
* secularism and the Islamic reaction
* Islam and violence
* globalization and transnational Islamic movements
* Islam in the wake of 9/11.
Islamic Fundamentalism since 1945 provides an authoritative account of the causes and diversity of Islamic fundamentalism, a modern phenomenon which affects nations throughout the world.
