In this brilliant look at the rise of political Islam, the distinguished political scientist and anthropologist Mahmood Mamdani dispels the notion of �good� (secular and Westernized) Muslims as against �bad� (premodern, fanatic) Muslims. He argues that such judgements emerge out of politics rather than from cultural or religious identity. Mamdani shows how political Islam emerged from a modern encounter with Western power, and how the terrorist movement within it arose out of the USA�s post-Vietnam proxy wars. His analysis ranges from the 1960s to the Reaganite�Thatcherite 1970s, when a simplistic ideological politics of �good versus evil� began to be espoused. It culminates by looking in detail at the �global� war against terror being waged in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. Good Muslim, Bad Muslim possesses a huge civilizational sweep which profoundly alters official understandings of Islamist politics that the US state propagates. It is more broadly a radical and necessary corrective to the way in which Islam is being projected by conservative forces in contemporary times. ISBN-9788178241111
