Recenzii
'No political theorist, anthropologist or studentof Islam will fail to be provoked and inspired by this brilliant analysis of jihadi discourse. [...] Devji moves effortlessly between theology, history and cultural studies to give us the first major English-language interpretation of the moral world of contemporary jihad.' --Professor Arjun Appadurai, New School University'Devji's very original book analyses Al Qaeda and jihad in metaphysical terms, discarding geo-strategic and cultural factors, [hence] the West is also presented as a metaphysical entity.Globalization is thus not linked to strategy,territory or culture. The concept of landscapesummarises his approach: action creates its own landscape and is not the expression of an pre-existing cultural, territorial or strategicdivide. Hence there emerge different 'landscapes':of jihad, of mysticism, of media andof film, all of which combine with each other. [...] Devji's original analysis of the writings of Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri is very illuminating and substantiates hisiconoclastic approach.'-- Professor Olivier Roy, author, Globalised Islam: The Search for a New Ummah
