Guided by the author's own journey as a student, university lecturer, and researcher in Iran, Malaysia, and New Zealand, this book provides vivid accounts of the complex academic politics he encountered. Majid Daneshgar describes the selective translation and editing of Edward Said's classic work Orientalism into various Islamic languages, and the way Said's work is weaponized to question the credibility of contemporary Western-produced scholarship in Islamic studies. Daneshgar also examines networks of journals, research centers, and universities in both Sunni and Shi'i contexts, and looks at examples of Qur'anic interpretation there. Ultimately, he offers a constructive program for enriching Islamic studies by fusing the best of Western theories with the best philological practices developed in Muslim academic contexts, aimed at encouraging respectful but critical engagement with the Qur'an. --Dustjacket Inside Front Flap. 650 0 $a Islam $x Study and teaching. 650 0 $a Islam $x Apologetic works. 650 7 $a Islam $x Apologetic works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01425685 650 7 $a Islam $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979852 830 0 $a Reflection and theory in the study of religion. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017025943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EEEA3CE8C7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
