"Islam, Globalization and Postmodernity" examines the cultural responses of Muslims to the transformations, contradictions and challenges confronting contemporary Islam as it moves toward the twenty-first century. The diffusion of populations, the globalization of culture and the forces of postmodernity have shaken the world like never before. These developments have generated a debate among Muslims which, as the contributors to this volume show, will have far-reaching consequences not just for the Muslim world, but for relations between Islam and the West more generally.
