The West is no longer a unified actor and Islam is ideologically depleted in its confrontation with colonialism. Rather we are seeing the emergence of the US as a lone superpower, and a confrontation between a form of imperial globalized capital and the rising need for a new Islamic theodicy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of political salience and theoretical force makes \u003cem\u003eIslamic Liberation Theology\u003c\/em\u003e a cornerstone of a whole new generation of thinking about political Islamism and a compelling read for anyone interested in contemporary Islam, current affairs and US foreign policy. Dabashi drives his well-supported and thoroughly documented points steadily forward in an earnest and highly readable style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46886353535127,"sku":"9780415771559","price":7337.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415771559.webp?v=1770251460","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/islamic-liberation-theology-resisting-the-empire-9780415771559","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
