Islam, Globalization and Postmodernity
Author: Akbar S. Ahmed
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134870485
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This book examines the cultural responses of Muslims to the transformations, contradictions and challenges confronting contemporary Islam as it moves towards the twenty-first century. The diffusion of populations, the globalization of culture and the forces of postmodernity have shaken the world like never before. These developments have generated a debate among Muslims which, as the contributors to this volume show, will have far-reaching consequences not just for the Muslim world, but for relations between Islam and the West more generally.

Islam Encountering Globalisation
Author: Ali Mohammadi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136133062
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
One of the greatest dilemmas facing Muslims today is the fact that Muslim culture is often seemingly incompatible with the culture of the modern Western world, and the features associated with it - technological progress, consumerism, and new electronic communication, all of which have the potential for a homogenizing effect on any culture. This book explores many key aspects of the globalisation process, discussing how Muslim countries are coping with globalisation, as well as considering how the West is responding to Islam.
