Extract

Bassam Tibi has produced yet another impressive and thought-provoking book that addresses problematic dimensions in the understanding of the interaction between culture and politics in contemporary Islam and the relationship between Islam and the West inside Europe and in an increasingly “globalized” world. He revisits and expands on several of his themes in previous works on Islam while placing them within an elaborate and sophisticated cultural analysis that painstakingly attempts to define concepts, elucidate relationships, and propose solutions for the dilemmas at hand.
