He then moves on to examine the rise of bourgeois nationalism in the 1920s and 1930s, the era of independence movements, the relationship between Islamic cultures and the republican political culture of the Third World, the reassertion of Islamic ideologies in the 1970s and 1980s and, finally, the issues surrounding the relationship between Islamic culture and civil society that dominated debate in the 1990s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Modern History of the Islamic World\u003c\/b\u003e provides a clear overview of the ways in which twentieth century modernism affected the societies of the Islamic world and how modernism was developed from an Islamic perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reinhard Schulze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814798195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchulze, Reinhard:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eREINHARD SCHULZE\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Berne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40183710384243,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_0f2e7879-6d96-4ae5-87fb-232c77a683e7.jpg?v=1655558571","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/a-modern-history-of-the-islamic-world-9780814798195","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
