Subject:

Description:

A. Chaudhry This course examines the key issues with which Muslim thinkers in the modern period (defined here as the colonial and post-colonial periods) have been concerned. A significant portion of the class is spent examining liberal Islamic thought, in the sense of intellectual responses that have taken the engagement with modernity seriously. As such, students critically examine some Muslim responses to post-colonialism, feminist and womanist constructions, democratization of politics, pluralism, religious violence, extremism, and authoritarianism. The class consists of close reading and discussion of texts.
