520 _aIslamic radicalism has commanded attention in recent year, to the neglect of more moderate voices and trends. This compelling volume introduces the current generation of reformist thinkers and activists and the intellectual traditions they carry on. Richly detailed, regionally focused chapters cover Iran, the Arab East, the Maghreb, South Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Europe and North America. The editor’s introductory chapter traces the roots of reformist thinking both Islamic tradition and as a response to the challenges of modernity. The concluding chapter identifies commonalities, comparisons, vulnerabilities, and trends of the modernizing movements.
