Samir Amin Eurocentrism: Modernity, Religion, and Democracy: A Critique of Eurocentrism and Culturalism

Produktbeskrivelse

Since the first publication twenty years ago of this original and provocative essay, Eurocentrism has become a classic of radical thought. This edition offers a new introduction and concluding chapter by Samir Amin both of which make the author's arguments even more compelling. Amin takes on one of the great 'ideological deformations' of our time. He defines and challenges the current historical, political, economic and ideological order - Eurocentrism - and presents a sweeping reinterpretation that emphasises the crucial historical role played by the Arab Islamic world. Amin addresses broad concerns, including issues of contemporary Islamic fundamentalism.
