PREFACE The entire world of Islam is to-day in profound ferment. From Morocco to China and from Turkestan to the Congo, the 250,000,000 followers of the Prophet Mohammed are stirring to new ideas, new impulses, new aspirations. A gigantic transformation is taking place whose results must affect all mankind. This transformation was greatly stimulated by the late war. But it began long before.

PREFACE The entire world of Islam is to-day in profound ferment. From Morocco to China and from Turkestan to the Congo, the 250,000,000 followers of the Prophet Mohammed are stirring to new ideas, new impulses, new aspirations. A gigantic transformation is taking place whose results must affect all mankind. This transformation was greatly stimulated by the late war. But it began long before. More than a hundred years ago the seeds were sown, and ever since then it has been evolving; at first slowly and obscurely; later more rapidly and perceptibly; until to-day, under the stimulus of Armageddon, it has burst into sudden and startling bloom. The story of that strange and dramatic evolution I have endeavoured to tell in the following pages. Considering in turn its various aspects-religious, cultural, political, economic, social-I have tried to portray their genesis and development, to analyse their character, and to appraise their potency. While making due allowance for local differentiations, the intimate correlation and underlying unity of the various movements have ever been kept in view. Although the book deals primarily with the Moslem world, it necessarily includes the non-Moslem Hindu elements of India. The field covered is thus virtually the entire Near and Middle East. The Far East has not been directly considered, but parallel developments there have been noted and should always be kept in mind. LOTHROP STODDARD
Autorenporträt
Theodore Lothrop Stoddard was an American historian, political scientist, and journalist, born on June 29, 1883, in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was educated at Harvard University, where he received his degree in 1914, and at Boston University earlier. Stoddard is perhaps best known for his controversial writings, which espoused eugenics, white supremacy, and scientific racism. He advocated for Nordicism and racial hierarchy, believing in the superiority of the so-called Nordic race. Stoddard's most infamous work, The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy, expressed his fear of racial mixing and the perceived threat of non-white populations to Western civilization. His ideas on race and eugenics were influential during the early 20th century, particularly among groups advocating for racial purity and eugenic policies. Stoddard was also a board member of the American Birth Control League, reflecting his interest in controlling population growth based on his racist ideologies. He died on May 1, 1950, in Washington, D.C., leaving behind a legacy of controversial and widely discredited views on race and society.
