Beschreibungen

<p>This book discusses various dynamic facets of the life of Rāshid al-Ghannūshi̇̄, a distinguished Islamic thinker and activist not only in Tunisia and North Africa, but in the entire Muslim world. It especially focuses on those aspects related to his intellectual understanding and response to a number of critical contemporary issues. In the 21st Century, Rāshid al-Ghannūshi̇̄ is considered as the most moderate among the Muslim thinkers and intellectuals, particularly when it comes to the question of Islam-democracy compatibility and power sharing theory. This book also offers an account of a previously little known, yet much talked about Muslim voice in the post-Arab Spring era.&nbsp; It further shows how the intellectual Muslim thinkers’ own perspectives and expectations from Islamic movement(s) and their interaction with the ‘western oriented local leadership’, as well as their (secular) policies color their understanding of Islam and various other major issues.</p><p> </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

“This is a fine work that sheds light on the compatibility of Islam and such notions as democracy, transparency and human rights with a particular reference to Tunisian political thinker and activist Rashid al-Gannushi. The book is very timely contribution to the existing literature given the recent success of al-Nahda, a movement led by al-Gannushi, in Tunisia after the revolt in 2011 in the political landscape.”&nbsp; (Cenap Çakmak, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Turkey)<p>“Mohammad Dawood Sofi provides important insights into the particular ideological and intellectual evolution of Al-Nahda's ideologue and thinker, Rashid al-Gannushi, and shows how he has engaged with democratic politics.” (Anne Wolf, University of Oxford, UK)</p>

“The work of Mohammad Dawood Sofi is a well-researched narrative that provides a detailed account about life, legacy, and intellectual development of Rashid al-Gannushi, a key contemporary Tunisian activist and thinker. While analyzing some of the vitalissues such as Islam-West engagement and democracy, Mohammad Dawood explains how diverse influences developed and matured Gannushi’s ideology.” (Abdul Majid Khan, Aligarh Muslim University, India)<p></p>

<p>“The study is a timely and a significant contribution that highlights some concrete reflections regarding the intellectual activism of Rashid al-Ghannushi̇. Besides studying different biographical phases of Ghannushi, the book opens up our comprehension about his intellectual development, precision, and response to the various contemporary challenges. From issues about Islam-West relationship and Human Rights to Islam-Democracy compatibility or incompatibility and Power Sharing Theory, the book explores the powerful narrative and idea of this famous contemporary Tunisian Muslim thinker.” (Sayyid Muhammad Yunus Gilani, International Islamic University, Malaysia)</p>
