{"product_id":"9781107164161","title":"Beyond Shariati : Modernity, Cosmopolitanism, and Islam in Iranian Political Thought","description":"\u003cp\u003eAli Shariati (1933-77) has been called by many the 'ideologue of the Iranian Revolution'. An inspiration to many of the revolutionary generation, Shariati's combination of Islamic political thought and Left-leaning ideology continues to influence both in Iran and across the wider Muslim world. In this book, Siavash Saffari examines Shariati's long-standing legacy, and how new readings of his works by contemporary 'neo-Shariatis' have contributed to a deconstruction of the false binaries of Islam\/modernity, Islam\/West, and East\/West. Saffari argues that through their critique of Eurocentric metanarratives on the one hand, and the essentialist conceptions of Islam on the other, Shariati and neo-Shariatis have carved out a new space in Islamic thought beyond the traps of Orientalism and Occidentalism. This unique perspective will hold great appeal to researchers of the politics and intellectual thought of post-revolutionary Iran and the greater Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48711467270379,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":243.54,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781107164161-1.jpg?v=1781654394","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781107164161","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
