In this richly detailed criticism of contemporary politics Hamid Dabashi argues that after 9\/11 we have not seen a new phase in a long running confrontation between Islam and the West but that such categories have in fact collapsed and exhausted themselves. The West is no longer a unified actor and Islam is ideologically depleted in its confrontation with colonialism. Rather we are seeing the emergence of the US as a lone superpower and a confrontation between a form of imperial globalized capital and the rising need for a new Islamic theodicy. The combination of political salience and theoretical force makes Islamic Liberation Theology a cornerstone of a whole new generation of thinking about political Islamism and a compelling read for anyone interested in contemporary Islam current affairs and US foreign policy. Dabashi drives his well - supported and thoroughly documented points steadily forward in an earnest and highly readable style.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Islamic Liberation Theology Resisting The Empire\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Dabashi Hamid (Columbia University Usa)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780415771559\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 306 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/1\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Politics \u0026amp; Government","brand":"Dabashi Hamid (Columbia University Usa)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49595444494641,"sku":"IN-G-9780415771559","price":71.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780415771559.jpg?v=1754882279","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780415771559-islamic-liberation-theology-resisting-the-empire","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
