Reviews

Where would the place be that a Muslim intellectual could call home? Where is the corner on which a homeless mind could address, in moments of some sincerity, the compelling issues of Muslim (post)modernity, of the Islamic past, of the necessity of a reconstructed Self and Other, of a permanent and final disengagement with the postcolonial discourse? - Hamid Dabashi
