{"product_id":"reconfiguring-islamic-tradition-samira-haj-9780804752503","title":"Reconfiguring Islamic Tradition: Reform, Rationality, and Modernity","description":"\u003cp\u003eSamira Haj conceptualizes Islam through a close reading of two Muslim reformers--Muhammad ibn 'Abdul Wahhab (1703-1787) and Muhammad 'Abduh (1849-1905)--each representative of a distinct trend, chronological as well as philosophical, in modern Islam. Their works are examined primarily through the prism of two conceptual questions: the idea of the modern and the formation of a Muslim subject. Approaching Islam through the works of these two Muslims, she illuminates aspects of Islamic modernity that have been obscured and problematizes assumptions founded on the oppositional dichotomies of modern\/traditional, secular\/sacred, and liberal\/fundamentalist. The book explores the notions of the community-society and the subject's location within it to demonstrate how Muslims in different historical contexts responded differently to theological and practical questions. This knowledge will help us better understand the conflicts currently unfolding in parts of the Arab world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samira Haj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804752508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804752503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2008 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 22","brand":"Samira Haj","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120257659135,"sku":"9780804752503","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99da4593-3266-423d-af51-4a03b24b0b16.jpg?v=1687413341","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconfiguring-islamic-tradition-samira-haj-9780804752503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
