The dreadful events of 11 September have brought Islam to the
forefront of world politics. This authoritative new book provides
the analysis for a far-reaching introduction to Islamic politics
for those coming to the subject for the first time. This account
provides a deep insight into dimensions of Muslim political life;
from democracy to despots, women to world affairs and history to
heresy.
Milton-Edwards offers an account of key contemporary concepts and
debates that focus on the relationship between Islam and topical
issues including politics, protest and opposition, violence, the
West, democracy, the state and women. Giving an broad global
overview the author includes a range of first-hand interviews with
major Islamic figures and leaders of movements. Milton-Edwards
charts the development of a political trend in Islam throughout the
twentieth century and explores its myriad dimensions. The author
also explores the prospects for political Islam in the new
millennium.
With further reading suggestions, and a glossary, Islam and
Politics in the Contemporary World is an indispensable introduction
to the subject and will prove invaluable as a textbook for students
of politics and religion.
