While globalization unifies the world, divisions re-emerge within
it in the form of a spectacular separation between Islam and the
West. How can it be that Huntington's contested idea of a clash of
civilizations became such a powerful political myth through which
so many people look at the world? Bottici and Challand disentangle
such a process of myth-making both in the West and in Muslim
majority countries, and call for a renewed critical attitude
towards it. By analysing a process of elaboration of this myth that
took place in academic books, arts and media, comics and Hollywood
films, they show that the clash of civilizations has become a
cognitive scheme through which people look at the world, a
practical image on the basis of which they act on it, as well as a
drama which mobilizes passions and emotions. Written in a concise
and accessible way, this book is a timely and valuable contribution
to the academic literature, and more generally, to the public
debate. As such, it will be an important reference for scholars and
students of political science, sociology, philosophy, cultural
studies, Middle Eastern politics and Islam.
