The Islamic world has experienced extensive social changes in
modern times--the decline of traditional order, the rise of new
social classes, the formation of massive bureaucratic and military
states, and the incorporation of its economies into the world
capitalist structure. Yet despite these changes, a national
consensus on even the most important principles of social
organization--the form of government, the relationship between
religion and politics, the status of women, national identity, and
rule making--has yet to emerge. Instead, Islamic countries
experienced a sequence of cultural episodes that were characterized
by ideological debates, religious disputations, and political
conflicts, each ending with a revolution or military coup.
An ambitious comparative historical analysis of ideological
production in the Islamic world from the mid-1800s to the present,
Mansoor Moaddel's" Islamic Modernism, Nationalism, and
Fundamentalism" provides a unique perspective for understanding the
social conditions of these discourses. Understanding how these
discourses were produced is, for Moaddel, the key to understanding
Middle Eastern history. Based on this premise, Moaddel unlocks for
readers the historical process that started with Islamic modernism
and ended with fundamentalism.
