{"product_id":"terrorist-in-search-of-humanity-faisal-devji-9780199326693","title":"Terrorist in Search of Humanity: Militant Islam and Global Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaisal Devji argues that new forms of militancy, such as the actions of al-Qaeda, are informed by the same desire for agency and equality that animates other humanitarian interventions, such as environmentalism and pacifism. To the militant, victimized Muslims are more than just symbols of ethnic and religious persecution-they represent humanity's centuries-long struggle for legitimacy and agency. Acts of terror, therefore, are fueled by the militant's desire to become a historical actor on the global stage. Though they have yet to build concrete political institutions, militant movements have formed a kind of global society, and as Devji makes clear, this society pursues the same humanitarian objectives that drive more benevolent groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Faisal Devji\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019932669X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199326693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Faisal Devji","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419023458559,"sku":"9780199326693","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ee2c416-230b-4d71-96c9-5ed94d93251e.jpg?v=1761508973","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terrorist-in-search-of-humanity-faisal-devji-9780199326693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
