In that book, Jawzi offered the first Marxist interpretation of the history and development of Islamic thought. The continuing importance of his work lies in Jawzi's critical method of reevaluating both European \"orientalist\" and classical Muslim accounts of Islamic history. Fifty years before Edward Said's landmark \u003cem\u003eOrientalism\u003c\/em\u003e, Jawzi identified the vested imperial interests as the weakness in both methodologies. Sonn's translation brings to life this skillful and entertaining critique of Islamic history. Her introduction places Jawzi's thought in context with both postmodern intellectuals and Muslim reformers who continue the struggle to apply Islamic principles to contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614768021655,"sku":"9780195100518","price":15340.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195100518.webp?v=1775096126","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/interpreting-islam-bandali-jawzis-islamic-intellectual-history-9780195100518","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
