Analysts and pundits from across the American political spectrum
describe Islamic fundamentalism as one of the greatest threats to
modern, Western-style democracy. Yet very few non-Muslims would be
able to venture an accurate definition of political Islam. Mohammed
Ayoob's "The Many Faces of Political Islam" thoroughly describes
the myriad manifestations of this rising ideology and analyzes its
impact on global relations. "In this beautifully crafted and
utterly compelling book, Mohammed Ayoob accomplishes admirably the
difficult task of offering a readily accessible yet nuanced and
comprehensive analysis of an issue of enormous political
importance. Both students and specialists will learn a great deal
from this absolutely first-rate book."
---Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of
International Studies and Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Teaching
Fellow, Cornell University "Dr. Ayoob addresses the nuances and
complexities of political Islam---be it mainstream, radical, or
militant---and offers a road map of the pivotal players and issues
that define the movement. There is no one as qualified as Mohammed
Ayoob to write a synthesis of various manifestations of political
Islam. His complex narrative highlights the changes and shifts that
have taken place within the Islamist universe and their
implications for internal Muslim politics and relations between the
world of Islam and the Christian world."
---Fawaz A. Gerges, Carnegie Scholar, and holds the Christian A.
Johnson Chair in International Affairs and Middle Eastern Studies,
Sarah Lawrence College "Let's hope that many readers---not only
academics but policymakers as well---will use this
invaluablebook."
---Francois Burgat, Director, French National Centre for Scientific
Research (CNRS) and the Institute for Research and Study on the
Arab and Muslim World (IREMAM), Aix-en-Provence, France "This is a
wonderful, concise book by an accomplished and sophisticated
political scientist who nonetheless manages to convey his
interpretation of complex issues and movements to even those who
have little background on the subject. It is impressive in its
clarity, providing a badly needed text on political Islam that's
accessible to college students and the general public alike."
---Shibley Telhami, Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and
Development, University of Maryland, and Senior Fellow, Brookings
Institution Mohammed Ayoob is University Distinguished Professor of
International Relations with a joint appointment in James Madison
College and the Department of Political Science at Michigan State
University. He is also Coordinator of the Muslim Studies Program at
Michigan State University.
