Synopsis
Turkey and Iran consider themselves modern Islamic statesthough with radically different status in todays social and political world. In Multiple Modernities, Civil Society and Islam, Kamali explores the historical factors that have shaped such dissimilar Muslim states, including the continued influence of Europe and the United States. Kamalis assertion that the Muslim world is far more multifaceted and pluralistic than generally portrayed is a message particularly relevant today. The attacks on the World Trade Centre in New Yorkand the Pentagon in Washington DC are covertly and, in manycases, even overtly considered as the clash of civilizations. Itis presented as a sign of a conflict between the modern,democratic, and secularised civilization of the Western worldand the traditional, non-democratic, and religious Islamicworld. The post-September 11th changes have created anenvironment where human societies have been over-simplified, dividing the world into two sides along an axis of us andthem. This challenging study reveals that there is no Islamic world, no single tradition of modernity, but multiple patternsof socio-political developments in different Muslim countrieswith both common features and differences.

BACK COVER In 'Multiple Modernities, Masoud Kamil examines Iran's and Turkey's pathways to modernity using the concept of 'Islamic civil society', the book argues that the modernization of Iran and Turkey has been strongly affected by the two countries' particular historical and sociocultural contexts, and among the factors considered are the role of indigenous Islamic civil society as the counterpart of enforced secularization, the influence of the West and of distinctive Western modernization models, and the effects of war in imposing modernization/Westernization Multiple Modernities makes an important contribution to debates on modernization theory, democratic developments in Islamic countries, and the nature of new Islamic movements. It questions the established and biased theoretical and political constructions of the 'Muslim World' and provides the means for a better understanding of the diversities of modern developments in Muslim countries.
