This book presents a critical study of citizenship, state and
globalization in societies that have been historically influenced
by Islamic traditions and institutions. Interrogating the work of
contemporary theorists of Islamic modernity such as Mohammed
Arkoun, Abdul an-Na'im, Fatima Mernissi, Talal Asad, Saba Mahmood
and Aziz Al-Azmeh, this book explores the debate on Islam,
democracy and modernity, contextualized within contemporary Muslim
lifeworlds. These include contemporary Turkey (following the 9/11
attacks and the onset of war in Afghanistan), multicultural France
(2009-10 French burqa debate), Egypt (the 2011 Tahrir Square mass
mobilizations), and India. Ali Mirsepassi and Tadd Graham Fernee
critique particular counterproductive ideological
conceptualizations, voicing an emerging global ethic of
reconciliation. Rejecting the polarized conceptual ideals of the
universal or the authentic, the authors critically reassess notions
of the secular, the cosmopolitan and democracy. Raising questions
that cut across the disciplines of history, anthropology, sociology
and law, this study articulates a democratic politics of everyday
life in modern Islamic societies.
