INAF-411 Contemporary Islamic Activist-Intellectuals
Spring only
During the 1970's and 1980's, a new style of Muslim intellectual and political leadership emerged combining intellecutal and scholarly activity with political action as an important force in a number of countries. In this seminar the role of such intellectuals will be examined to provide a conceptual context for viewing the work of a number of prominent Islamic activist-intellectuals of the 1980's and 1990's. This will include analyses of Hasan al-Turabi (Sudan), Rashid al-Ghanushi (Tunisia), Anwar Ibrahim (Malaysia), Abd al-Karim Sorush (Iran), and Islamic activist-intellectuals from Turkey, Central Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa.
