About This Book

The author surveys a broad transformation sweeping Muslim-majority societies, arguing that a long-term revival accelerated by the recent war has produced religious, cultural, political, economic, and social change. He traces historical roots of the revival and pan-Islamic movements, assesses Western influence, and examines political reorganization, rising nationalism (including the subcontinent), shifts in economic patterns, and social unrest with links to Bolshevism. Each chapter analyzes origins, development, local variations, and interconnections, concluding with an evaluation of emerging trends and potential consequences for the Near and Middle Eastern world.
