Focusing on the region of the Arab world--comprising some two
hundred million people and twenty-one sovereign states extending
from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf--this book develops a theory
of social change that demystifies the setbacks this region has
experienced on the road to transformation. Professor Sharabi
pinpoints economic, political, social, and cultural changes in the
last century that led the Arab world, as well as other developing
countries, not to modernity but to neopatriarchy--a modernized form
of patriarchy. He shows how authentic change was blocked and
distorted forms and practices subsequently came to dominate all
aspects of social existence and activity--among them militant
religious fundamentalism, an ideology symptomatic of neopatriarchal
culture. Presenting itself as the only valid option, Muslim
fundamentalism now confronts the elements calling for secularism
and democracy in a bitter battle whose outcome is likely to
determine the future of the Arab world as well as that of other
Muslim societies in Africa and Asia.
