Responding to political and theoretical misconceptions about Islam and Muslim culture, it covers North African, Arab and Asian cinemas in a rich series of industry histories, single film studies and detailed analyses of celebrated directors. \u003ci\u003eCinema in Muslim Societies\u003c\/i\u003e is innovative and timely in its explicit engagement with vexing questions of Islamic aesthetics, political activism, socialism and the role of women in Muslim contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors explore a wide variety of topics, from cinematic art and poetry to religious identity and pornography. Debated extensively at a programme of public talks and screenings at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2011, this volume remains supremely relevant in a world of polarising identities and political violence engulfing Muslim societies and the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eThird Text.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ali Ahmad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138106704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138106703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Ali Ahmad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087705321727,"sku":"9781138106703","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24f3e520-cf79-468e-98d9-7da7b114ce74.jpg?v=1769100936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinema-in-muslim-societies-ali-ahmad-9781138106703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
