Islamism and Modernism captures the metamorphosis of the Islamic movement in Iran, from encounters with Great Britain and the United States in the 1920s through twenty-first-century struggles between those seeking to reform Islam's role and those who take a hardline defensive stance. Capturing the views of four generations of Muslim activists, Farhang Rajahee describes how the extremism of the 1960s brought more confidence to concerned Islam-minded Iranians and radicalized the Muslim world while Islamic alternatives to modernity were presented. Subsequent ideologies gave rise to the revolution, which in turn has fed a restructuring of Islam as a faith rather than as an ideology. Presenting thought-provoking discussions of religious thinkers such as Ha'eri, Burujerdi, Bazargan, and Shari'ati, along with contemporaries such as Kadivar, Soroush, and Shabestari, the author sheds rare light on the voices fueling contemporary Islamic thinking in Iran. A comprehensive study of these interwoven aspects of politics, religion, society, and identity, Islamism and Modernism offers crucial new insight into the aftermath of the Iranian Constitutional Revolution fought one hundred years ago?and its ramifications for the newest generation to face the crossroads of modernity and Islamic discourse in modern Iran today. 410 0$aCMES Modern Middle East Series 606 $aIslam$zIran$xHistory 606 $aIslam and state$zIran 607 $aIran$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aIran$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam and state 676 $a320.5/570955 700 $aRaja?yi?$b Farhang$f1952 or 3-$01598037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826359503321 996 $aIslamism and modernism$94099691 997 $aUNINA
