{"product_id":"the-last-muslim-intellectual-hamid-dabashi-9781474479288","title":"The Last Muslim Intellectual: The Life and Legacy of Jalal Al-E Ahmad","description":"In this social and intellectual biography, Hamid Dabashi contends that Jalal Al-e Ahmad was the last Muslim intellectual to have articulated a vision of Muslim worldly cosmopolitanism, before the militant Islamism of the last half a century degenerated into sectarian politics and intellectual alienation from the world at large.Dabashi places Al-e Ahmad beside other towering critical thinkers of his time, showing how he personified a state of Muslim anticolonial modernity that has now disappeared behind the smokescreen of sectarian politics. This unprecedented engagement with Al-e Ahmad's life and legacy is a prelude to what Dabashi calls a 'post-Islamist Liberation Theology'.The Last Muslim Intellectual expands the wide spectrum of anticolonial thinking beyond its established canonicity by adding a critical Muslim thinker to it - an urgent task, if the future of Muslim critical thinking is to be considered in liberated terms beyond the dead-end of its current sectarian predicament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hamid Dabashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474479286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474479288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Hamid Dabashi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983038742783,"sku":"9781474479288","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d147d0a-611c-490d-a002-0d2a60e47eeb.jpg?v=1683264334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-muslim-intellectual-hamid-dabashi-9781474479288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
