{"product_id":"neo-traditionalism-in-islam-in-the-west-1","title":"Neo-traditionalism in Islam in the West","description":"Studies the impact neo-traditionalism has on the religious and political subjectivities of Muslims in the West\n\nShows the importance of neo-traditionalism in the changing conceptions of religious orthodoxy, religious authority and spirituality for young Muslims in the West\nStudies primarily   although not exclusively   three neo-traditionalist shaykhs: Hamza Yusuf, Abdal Hakim Murad and Umar Faruq Abd-Allah\n Analyses how neo-traditionalist shaykhs construct the notion of 'tradition' concerning what they perceive to have been lost in modernity\n Examines the political implications to their critiques of modernity   as it pertains to political quietism, race and gender\n\nThis book examines the salience of neo-traditionalism in Anglo-American Muslim communities. By tracing the scholarship and impact of the key public pedagogues (shaykhs) associated with this phenomenon   Hamza Yusuf, Abdal Hakim Murad, and Umar Faruq Abd-Allah, Quisay shows how their critiques of modernity is solidified as political ideals and strategies. The shaykhs guide their community of followers and students   known as 'seekers of sacred knowledge'   to paradigmatic critique of modernity that emphasises the importance of reconnecting with the tradition, self-purification, religious orthodoxy, and advocating for the notion of traditional metaphysical worldview and recognition and deference to spiritual (and political) authorities. In secluded, spiritual retreats   held by the shaykhs   the seekers hope to opt out of the disenchanted modern in search for a form of re-enchantment where neither the modern world nor the particularities of their modern subjectivities can intrude. The enticement of re-enchantment, however, proves problematic in the face of modern political power.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251078484312,"sku":"9781399502771","price":112.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781399502771_72e512f2-7e41-4b98-8eaf-99ade20045bf.jpg?v=1776919521","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/neo-traditionalism-in-islam-in-the-west-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
