Eighteenth-century Renewal and Reform in Islam

İslam günümüz dünyasında faal bir güçtür. 1980'lerde bir başka ifadeyle hicri 15. Yüzyılın başında İslami ihya hareketleri gözle görülür bir ivme kazandı. Ortadoğu'dan Güneydoğu Asya'ya Batı Afrika'ya kadar bütün İslam alemi canlı bir hareketlilik içinde. Bu durum birçok kişiyi şaşırtıyor. Ve bir yandan modern dünyada toplumun geleceği konusunda büyük sorunlar doğururken diğer yandan da politika üreticilerini kara kara düşündürüyor. Dinin gelecekte çok sınırlı bir toplumsal rol oynayacağına ilişkin tezleri çürüten İslami güçleniş çağdaş İslam tarihinin yeniden değerlendirilmesi ihtiyacını doğurmaktadır. Voll Müslümanların çağdaş -yaklaşık son iki yüz elli yıllık- tarihini ümmetin geçmiş deneyimini de göz önüne alarak incelemektedir. Klasik oryantalist söylemin dışında sayılabilecek bir yaklaşımla çağdaş İslam tarihini yerel şartlar modern tarihin genel dinamikleri ve bizatihi İslam'ın iç dinamikleri ile anlamaya çalışmaktadır.

İslam -Süreklilik ve Değişim-

John L. Esposito

Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad

The Islamic revival in recent decades has generated a growth industry in books and periodical literature on contemporary Islam. This partially annotated bibliography lists available literature on the Islamic revival published in English between 1970 and 1988. Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad and her colleagues also provide background information and a special bibliography on women, Islamic banking, and Muslims in Europe and the United States. Three introductory chapters provide an overview of the field of Islamic revival studies from varying perspectives. The bibliography includes academic and primary sources, many of which have been annotated. Some pre-1970 entries are included since they are the only available sources on particular subjects. Many entries are classified according to geographical areas and subdivided by specific country when appropriate. For comparative studies of international scope, entries on activities in China, the Soviet Union, parts of Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are included, as well as entries on Muslims in Europe and North America, and Islamic institutions in the West. This work is an important reference tool for students and scholars of Islam and the Middle East.
