Abstract:
American anxieties about intolerance, misogyny, and tyranny are
projected onto Islam are part of the broader history of European’s
use of Islam as a foil in Western liberalism. Professor Massad presents a rich historical record of Christian and liberal discourses aimed at curing Muslims of their supposed illiberal ways.
At a time when Muslims and Islam are frequently misrepresented in the media and public discourse, Islam in Liberalism offers a timely and insightful historical context of current events.
Joseph Massad is a full professor at Columbia University where he teaches and writes about modern Arab politics and intellectual history.
