{"product_id":"islamic-liberation-theology-hamid-dabashi-9780415771559","title":"Islamic Liberation Theology: Resisting the Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a radical piece of counter-intuitive rethinking of the clash of civilizations theory and global politics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this richly detailed criticism of contemporary politics, Hamid Dabashi argues that after 9\/11 we have not seen a new phase in a long running confrontation between Islam and the West, but that such categories have in fact collapsed and exhausted themselves. The West is no longer a unified actor and Islam is ideologically depleted in its confrontation with colonialism. Rather we are seeing the emergence of the US as a lone superpower, and a confrontation between a form of imperial globalized capital and the rising need for a new Islamic theodicy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe combination of political salience and theoretical force makes \u003cem\u003eIslamic Liberation Theology\u003c\/em\u003e a cornerstone of a whole new generation of thinking about political Islamism and a compelling read for anyone interested in contemporary Islam, current affairs and US foreign policy. Dabashi drives his well-supported and thoroughly documented points steadily forward in an earnest and highly readable style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hamid Dabashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415771552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415771559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Hamid Dabashi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790041313535,"sku":"9780415771559","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b8da1b7-2b2f-4f2f-83ee-83c222867a33.jpg?v=1707287786","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islamic-liberation-theology-hamid-dabashi-9780415771559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
