In \u003ci\u003eMuslims and Global Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, he advances the theme of global justice from an Islamic perspective, critically examining the role that Muslims must play in the development of a pragmatic, rights-based framework for justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn-Na'im opens this collection of essays with a chapter on Islamic ambivalence toward political violence, showing how Muslims began grappling with this problem long before the 9\/11 attacks. Other essays highlight the need to improve the cultural legitimacy of human rights in the Muslim world. As An-Na'im argues, in order for a commitment to human rights to become truly universal, we must learn to accommodate a range of different reasons for belief in those rights. In addition, the author contends, building an effective human rights framework for global justice requires that we move toward a people-centered approach to rights. Such an approach would value foremost empowering local actors as a way of negotiating the paradox of a human rights system that relies on self-regulation by the state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEncompassing over two decades of An-Na'im's work on these critical issues, \u003ci\u003eMuslims and Global Justice\u003c\/i\u003e provides a valuable theoretical approach to the challenge of realizing global justice in a world of profound religious and cultural difference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812242866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812242867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2011","brand":"Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46617861292287,"sku":"9780812242867","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b86a85a5-a43b-4d1f-8995-8b56b9f02e21.jpg?v=1740068530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/muslims-and-global-justice-abdullahi-ahmed-an-naim-9780812242867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
