Looks at moments in world history when cosmopolitanism pervaded Muslim societies
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup( 'ISBN:9780748689859', 'ISBN:9780748644568', 'ISBN:9780748644575', 'ISBN:9780748656097']);This collection of 9 essays focuses on instances in world history when cosmopolitan ideas and actions pervaded specific Muslim societies and cultures. The contributors explore the tensions between regional cultures, isolated enclaves and modern nation-states.
Cosmopolitanism is a key concept in social and political thought, standing in opposition to closed human group ideologies such as tribalism, nationalism and fundamentalism. Recent discussions of it have been situated within Western self-perceptions. Now, this volume explores it from Muslim perspectives.
