Buck - Morss Susan - Thinking Past Terror Islamism And Critical Theory On The Left - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Renowned critical theorist Susan Buck - Morss argues convincingly that a global public needs to think past the twin insanities of terrorism and counter - terrorism in order to dismantle regressive intellectual barriers. Surveying the widespread literature on the relationship of Islam to modernity she reveals that there is surprising overlap where scholars commonly and simplistically see antithesis. Thinking Past Terror situates this engagement with the study of Islam among critical contemporary discourses feminism post - colonialism and the critique of determinism. In a new preface to this paperback edition Susan Buck - Morss reflects on the events that have marked the world since the book was first published.
