Reviews

<br> In his book Islam and Liberal Citizenship, Andrew March presents a cogent analysis and discussion of contemporary Islamic thought. Indeed, it is a crucial work which sheds light on current positions surrounding issues of citizenship and democracy. I recommend it heartily not only to students of Islam, but also to scholars in the fields of government and political science. <br>--Jocelyne Cesari, Harvard University <br><p><br> This book considers the vital question of whether and on what terms pious Muslims can regard the terms of citizenship in pluralist liberal democracies as fair, reasonable, and acceptable. Andrew March's important book is philosophically acute, politically sensitive, and deeply versed in Islamic religious, ethical, and juridical traditions. It offers an important model for comparative ethics. There is no other book like it. Everyone concerned about the encounter between Islam and political liberalism should read it. <br>--Stephen Macedo, Princeton Uni

As well as those in good governance generally, I recommend this excellent work for those studying political science, inter-religious relations, or Islamic studies, particularly at higher tertiary level. * American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences * March puts forward a historically expansive scholarly tour de force on the question of the compatibility of Islamic law with the demands of liberal citizenship in the context in which Muslims are living as a minority in a non-Muslim state...the book is an absolutely indispensible addition. * Journal of Religion *
