| Summary: | Akbar Ahmad is an expert guide for this daunting anthropological excursion into the Muslim world. The purpose is to understand the varied and often surprising responses of Muslims to globalization. The book is classic Ahmad and is both a remix and an elaboration of his previous writings. The information was gathered through questionnaires and interviews from a kaleidoscope of peoples across the Middle East and Asia. Ahmad's thesis is that the crisis is better understood as a struggle within Islam resulting from a void of leadership., Ahmad presents three responses to the forces of globalization broadly described: accepting, preserving, and synthesizing. |
