Modernist Islam 1840 - 1940 : A Sourcebook

---

Outline: Modernist Islam was a major intellectual current in the Muslim world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Proponents of this movement typically believed that it was not only possible but imperative to show how "modern" values and institutions could be reconciled with Islamic ideals. While the movement declined after the 1930s, replaced by secular projects such as nationalism and socialism, on one hand, and revivalist religious movements on the other, recent years have seen a resurgene of modernist Islamic ideals among Muslim authors and activists. This sourcebook brings together 52 key texts of the modernist Islamic movement, from the Ottoman and Russian Empires to South Africa and Southeast Asia. Charles Kurzman and a team of section editors, each specializing in a different region of the Islamic world, have selected and annotated the writings, most of which are presented in English for the first time. Some of the texts pioneer modern discursive formats such as newspaper columns, public lectures, essays, short stories, and theater, while others engage in traditional forms of Islamic exegesis. The writings cover as broad an intellectual lanscape as their geographical scope, including reformers in the areas of religion, culture, politics, women's rights, science, and education. With the publication of this volume, an English-speaking audience can read more widely in the literature of modernist Islam than even the makers of the movement could.
