Sobre este artículo
Routledge, 1988. Ex-Library. Trade Paperback. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! MODERATE WEAR, A FEW BENDS & CLEAR TAPE ALONG EDGES OF COVER. LIGHTLY AGED, LIBRARY STAMPS BUT NO MARKING IN TEXT. "Description: Now reissued with a new introduction, Discovering Islam is a classic account of how the history of Islam and its relations with the West have shaped Islamic society today. Islam is often caricatured as aggressive and fanatic. Written in the tradition of Ibn Khaldun, this readable and wide-ranging book balances that image, uncovers the roots of Islamic discontent and celebrates the sources of its strength. From the four "ideal Caliphs" who succeeded the Prophet to the refugee camps of Peshawar, an objective picture emerges of the main features of Muslim history and the compulsions of Muslim society."
Sinopsis

This readable and accessible account, by an internationally known social scientist, balances that image, combining an astute understanding of Islamic history with sociological analysis of contemporary Muslim societies. An objective picture emerges of the main features of Muslim history and the compulsions of Muslim society.
