{"product_id":"books-beyond-shariati-by-siavash-saffari","title":"Beyond Shariati","description":"Ali Shariati (1933–77) has been called by many the 'ideologue of the Iranian Revolution'. An inspiration to many of the revolutionary generation, Shariati's combination of Islamic political thought and Left-leaning ideology continues to influence both in Iran and across the wider Muslim world. In this book, Siavash Saffari examines Shariati's long-standing legacy, and how new readings of his works by contemporary 'neo-Shariatis' have contributed to a deconstruction of the false binaries of Islam\/modernity, Islam\/West, and East\/West. Saffari argues that through their critique of Eurocentric metanarratives on the one hand, and the essentialist conceptions of Islam on the other, Shariati and neo-Shariatis have carved out a new space in Islamic thought beyond the traps of Orientalism and Occidentalism. This unique perspective will hold great appeal to researchers of the politics and intellectual thought of post-revolutionary Iran and the greater Middle East.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672403697937,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781316615751_913064f2-3116-45d1-9b9d-b11c1e0d1f4c.jpg?v=1781519520","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-beyond-shariati-by-siavash-saffari","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
