As Islam spreads throughout the world, Muslims living in their traditional homelands and in the Western world are grappling with shifting identities. In all cases, understanding the dynamics of identity-based politics is critical to the future of Muslims and their neighbors across the globe.In Muslims in Global Politics, Mahmood Monshipouri examines the role identity plays in political conflicts in six Muslim nations-Egypt, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Iran, and Indonesia-as well as in Muslim diaspora communities in Europe and North America. In each instance, he describes how conservatives, neofundamentalists, reformists, and secularists construct identity in different ways and how these identities play out in the political arena. With globalization, the demand for human rights continues to grow in the Muslim world, and struggles over modernity, authenticity, legitimacy, and rationality become increasingly important.Muslims in Global Politics deepens our understanding of how modern ideas and norms interact with the traditions of the Islamic world and, in turn, shows how human rights advocates can provide an alternative to militant Islamist movements. 410 0$aPennsylvania studies in human rights. 606 $aMuslims$xPolitical activity$zEurope 606 $aIslam and politics 606 $aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam 607 $aIslamic countries$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aMuslims$xPolitical activity 615 0$aIslam and politics. 615 0$aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 676 $a323.3 700 $aMonshipouri$b Mahmood$f1952-$0661664 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816484003321 996 $aMuslims in global politics$93955705 997 $aUNINA
