{"product_id":"the-bloomsbury-reader-on-islam-in-the-west","title":"Edward Curtis: The Bloomsbury Reader on Islam in the West [2015] paperback","description":"For more than a millennium, Islam has been a vital part of Western  civilization. Today, however, it is sometimes assumed that Islam is a  foreign element inside the West, and even that Islam and the West are  doomed to be in perpetual conflict. The need for accurate, reliable  scholarship on this topic has never been more urgent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bloomsbury Reader on Islam in the West  brings together some of the most important, up-to-date scholarly  writings published on this subject. The Reader explores not only the  presence of Muslim religious practitioners in Europe and the Americas  but also the impact of Islamic ideas and Muslims on Western politics,  societies, and cultures. It is ideal for use in the university  classroom, with an extensive introduction by Edward E. Curtis IV and a  timeline of key events in the history of Islam in the West. A brief  introduction to the author and the topic is provided at the start of  each excerpt. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1, on the history of Islam in the West,  probes the role of Muslims and the significance of Islam in medieval,  early modern, and modern settings such as Islamic Spain, colonial-era  Latin America, sixteenth-century France, nineteenth-century Crimea,  interwar Albania, the post-World War II United States, and late  twentieth-century Germany. Part 2 focuses on the contemporary West,  examining debates over Muslim citizenship, the war on terrorism,  anti-Muslim prejudice, and Islam and gender, while also providing  readers with a concrete sense of how Muslims practise and live out  Islamic ideals in their private and public lives.","brand":"Curtis, Edward","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44588450283810,"sku":"9781474245371","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/curtis-edward-edward-curtis-the-bloomsbury-reader-on-islam-in-the-west-2015-paperback-9781474245371-60478825824595.jpg?v=1734674339","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/the-bloomsbury-reader-on-islam-in-the-west","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
