In this āstylishly written, surprisingly moving chronicleā (Harperās), Christopher de Bellaigue presents an absorbing account of the political and social reformations that transformed the lands of Islam in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. āThe best sort of book for our disordered daysā (Pankaj Mishra), The Islamic Enlightenment āis at once new, fascinating and extraordinarily importantā (Wall Street Journal) as it challenges ossified perceptions in Western culture that self- righteously condemn the Muslim world as hopelessly benighted. This false perception belies the fact that Islamic civilization has long been undergoing its own anguished transformation, and that the violence of an infinitesimally small minority is the blowback from this process. In reclaiming the stories of the āfascinating . . . individuals who would grapple with reform and modernizationā (New York Times Book Review), de Bellaigueās āeye-opening, well-written, and very timelyā (Yuval Harrari) history shows the folly of Westerners demanding modernity from people whose lives are already drenched in it.
