Produktbeschreibung
The New World of Islam is a historical examination of the transformative period within the Islamic world following the Great War. The book explores the evolving political, cultural, and religious landscapes of Islam, stretching from Morocco to China, in response to both internal decay and external challenges. Stoddard focuses on the waves of reform movements, particularly the Mohammedan Revival and Pan-Islamism, which emerged as attempts to revive and purify Islam. These movements, driven by influential figures, sought to reclaim Islamic integrity in a world rapidly changing due to Western influence and modernity. Stoddard highlights how these movements represent a struggle to balance tradition with the need for adaptation in a new global context. The text also touches on the broader political and cultural implications of these shifts, considering the interaction between Islam and the West, as well as the internal challenges facing the Muslim world. Stoddard s work provides insight into the complexities of the Islamic response to modernization, religious reform, and political change.
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.
