About This Item
Abacus. Very Good+. 1999. Paperback. 0349110107 . Trade Paperback in Very Good++ condition, pages are tight and unmarked. Small sticker scar on the back cover, very moderate cover wear. "This is a book about one of the more important and unsettling issues of our time. But it is not a book of opinion. It is - in the Naipaul way - a very rich and human book, full of people and stories. Islam is an Arab religion, and it makes imperial Arabizing demands on its converts. In this way it is more than a private faith; and it can become a neurosis. What has this Arab Islam done to the histories of Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan and Malaysia? How do the converted peoples view their past - and their future?"; 7.80 X 5.04 X 1.30 inches; 437 pages .
