by Mahmood Mamdani

Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this brilliant look at the rise of political Islam, the distinguished political scientist and anthropologist Mahmood Mamdani brings his expertise and insight to bear on a question many Americans have been asking since 9/11: how did this happen? Good Muslim, Bad Muslim is a provocative and important book that will profoundly change our understanding both of Islamist politics and the way America is perceived in the world today.
