The twenty-first century exploded into the global imagination with
unforgettable scenes of death and destruction. An apocalyptic
'clash of civilizations' seemed to be waged between two old foes -
'the West' and 'Islam.' However, the decade-long and ruinous 'war
on terror' has prompted re-assessments of the militaristic approach
to Western-Muslim relations. A growing number of academics,
policymakers, religious leaders, journalists, and activists view
the struggles as resulting from a 'clash of ignorance.'
Re-imagining the Other examines the ways in which knowledge is
manipulated by dominant Western and Muslim discourses. Authors from
several disciplines study how the two societies have constructed
images of each other in historical and contemporary times. The
complexities and subtleties of their mutually productive
relationship are overshadowed by portrayals of unremitting clash,
thus serving as encouragement for the promotion of war and
terrorism. The book proposes specific approaches to re-imagine the
Other in order to mitigate Western-Muslim conflict.
