Ali Shariati (1933-77) has been called by many the 'ideologue of
the Iranian Revolution'. An inspiration to many of the
revolutionary generation, Shariati's combination of Islamic
political thought and Left-leaning ideology continues to influence
both in Iran and across the wider Muslim world. In this book,
Siavash Saffari examines Shariati's long-standing legacy, and how
new readings of his works by contemporary 'neo-Shariatis' have
contributed to a deconstruction of the false binaries of
Islam/modernity, Islam/West, and East/West. Saffari argues that
through their critique of Eurocentric metanarratives on the one
hand, and the essentialist conceptions of Islam on the other,
Shariati and neo-Shariatis have carved out a new space in Islamic
thought beyond the traps of Orientalism and Occidentalism. This
unique perspective will hold great appeal to researchers of the
politics and intellectual thought of post-revolutionary Iran and
the greater Middle East.
