His latest book, Why Do People Hate America?, has been a regular feature in bestseller lists in several countries. In the UK, he is known as a leading intellectual and his regular contributions to the Observer, the Independent and the New Statesman have brought his writings to a wide audience. As one of our most high-profile Muslim intellectuals, he has also become an increasingly important voice in the media since the events of September 11th 2001. This is the first collection of his writings that offers a comprehensive introduction to his thought. Starting with his analysis of his own position as a British Muslim and a writer, it goes on to explore issues of Islam and cultural change, education, identity, post-modernism and the future. Drawn from a broad range of his work in scholarly journals as well as from his many books on aspects of culture and society, it includes his most frequently cited papers and makes an ideal introduction to the immense scope of his work in cultural studies.Ziaddin Sardar is currently the editor of Third Text and Visiting Professor of Cultural Studies at City University, London. His books for Pluto Press include Postmodernism and the Other and Aliens R Us.Islam20th centuryPostmodernismReligious aspectsIslamIslamic renewalIslamic civilizationIslamPostmodernismReligious aspectsIslam.Islamic renewal.Islamic civilization.297/.09/04Sardar Ziauddin560337Inayatullah Sohail1958-281693Boxwell Gail1648199MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816461803321Islam, postmodernism, and other futures3996203UNINA
