New York: Oxford university Press (OUP), 2007. 2nd ed.. Paperback large octavo, very good plus condition, minimal edgewear. 512 pp. The editors, John Donohue and John Esposito, present the second edition of their influential book of essays on Islam adapting to the modern world (originally published in 1982). Since then,. 9/11 and continued acts of global terrorism from Madrid to Bali have challenged the understanding of academic experts and policymakers, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Critical questions have been raised about Islam and Muslim politics in the modern world. Are Islam and modernity compatible? Is Islam compatible with nationalism, secularism, economic development and democracy? Is Islam in need of and capable of reform? What does Islam and what do Muslims have to say about globalization, democracy, human rights, women, jihad, violence, terrorism, and suicide bombing. This expanded second edition includes more than 50% new materials with representative selections from diverse Muslim voices, moderates and extremists, traditionalists and reformers, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, Europe to America. .
