«El miedo a la modernidad. Islam y democracia» is the essay by Fátima Mernissi, published by Oriente y Mediterráneo in paperback (244 pages, in Spanish).
The essay analyzes the conflict between Islam and democracy: distrust of the West, the self-interested use of religion by oligarchies, and the uncertainty of a globalized world. It also examines the condition of women in Muslim societies and contrasts the myth of the Simorgh, by Attar, as an ideal of encounter between cultures.
Work translated from French by Inmaculada Jiménez Morell; it belongs to the collection «Sociedades del Oriente y Mediterráneo».
Aimed at university students and readers interested in Islamic thought, comparative politics, and women's rights.
