In recent years, events in the Islamic world have captured the
attention of the West to an unprecedented degree. However, much of
the media coverage of events like the Islamic revolution in Iran
has merely reinforced current prejudices and misconceptions about
Islam. This collection of essays, by specialists in a variety of
disciplines, gives an impressionistic overview of contemporary
Islam. Different areas of Islamic life are singled out for special
attention; these include the problem of relations between Islam and
the West, the role of the Sufi orders and the revival of religious
fundamentalism, Islam and the feminine, Islamic economics and
Islamic architecture. Geographically, the essays cover a wide area,
ranging over Sudan, Turkey, Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Each
discussion should appeal to the layman and specialist alike and
collectively they bring together a comprehensive range of material
not often covered in one volume. Above all, they cut across the
stereotypes of Islam found in the popular media, to reveal facets
of a complex, living tradition often unsuspected in the West. First
published in 1983.
