Events in the last decade have transformed the Muslim world: the
Iranian Revolution, the Rushdie affair, the Gulf War. Other
influences on Muslim society have perhaps been more penetrating but
less obvious. The outside world now reaches into even the most
closeted Muslim home through the various channels of the mass
media. Processes of globalization have hit traditional cultures so
hard and in such a way that they have raised issues for Muslims
which can no longer be ignored; Muslims are now forced to engage
these issues and to formulate responses to them. Matters which in
the past might have been considered by the well-informed few are
now debated throughout society by people at every level of social
organization. This book examines how Muslims across the globe have
responded to these changes and contradictions. It tries to capture
and explore some of the debate, uncertainty and conflict which they
have generated as Islam moves towards the 21st century. The case
studies presented - of Turkish, Trinidadian, Malaysian, Pakistani,
Egyptian, North American, Middle Eastern and British Islam -
describe both the general global processes now affecting Muslims
everywhere.
