ISLAM AND THE LEGACY OF COLONIALISM

Collection : Textes à l'appui / Histoire contemporaine
Release date : 11/05/2006

In order to legitimize their rule, Colonial Powers often exploited universalist ideals of emancipation. Is the notion of State Secularism also being used to further the interests of the self-styled new crusaders? This very rich collective work examines several examples (sectarian politics in Lebanon, the Zionist project in Palestine, the Saudi political system, the founding of Pakistan, etc.) studying the underside of colonization and how it was perceived by the Muslims.
