Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Book Octavo, softcover, near fine in beige pictorial wraps. 457 pp. Maps out the variety of voices contesting Islam and democracy in the Arab world, neither category can be taken as unitary or fixed. In the Arab Middle East, the contest is over which, whose, and how much democracy takes place within an existing contest over which, whose, and how much Islam must be given pre-eminence in the political and cultural sphere. There is a Democracy and there are democracies. There is an Islam and there are islams. Author uses contemporary Western political philosophy and theory to articulate and defend some provocative theses. He challenges Eurocentric conceptions of democracy and analyzes Orientalist and Occidentalist discourses on democracy; and considers some of the justifications for democracy in the global arena, giving space for self-representation by women and Islamists. Using interviews with Muslims from every social and economic stratum, he shows how Arabs themselves understand, imagine, and view democracy.
