Africa, Asia, and the History of Philosophy
Winner of the 2016 Frantz Fanon Prize for Outstanding Book in Caribbean Thought presented by the Caribbean Philosophical Association In this provocative historiography, Peter K. J. Park provides a penetrating account of a crucial period in the development of philosophy as an academic discipline. During these decades, a number of European philosophers influenced by Immanuel Kant began to formulate the history of philosophy as a march of progress from the Greeks to Kant—a genealogy that supplanted existing accounts beginning in Egypt or Western Asia and at a time when European interest in Sanskrit and Persian literature was flourishing. Not without debate, these traditions were ultimately de...
Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an
In this original and illuminating book, Denise A. Spellberg reveals a little-known but crucial dimension of the story of American religious freedom—a drama in which Islam played a surprising role. In 1765, eleven years before composing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson bought a Qur’an. This marked only the beginning of his lifelong interest in Islam, and he would go on to acquire numerous books on Middle Eastern languages, history, and travel, taking extensive notes on Islam as it relates to English common law. Jefferson sought to understand Islam notwithstanding his personal disdain for the faith, a sentiment prevalent among his Protestant contemporaries in England and A...
Al-Quran dan Impian Amerika Serikat
Pada 1765, sebelas tahun menjelang Deklarasi Kemerdekaan Amerika Serikat (AS), Thomas Jefferson membeli al-Quran. Rupanya, ini menandai awal dari minatnya yang panjang terhadap Islam.

Jefferson lalu memahami Islam secara intensif meskipunhal itu dinilai menghina keimanannya, sebuah sentimenumum yang berlaku di kalanganProtestankala itu. Syahdan, sejak 1776, Jeffersontelah membayangkankaum Muslim sebagaiwarga negara masa depan bagi negeri barunya, AS. Buku ini mengungkap cerita penting yang tak banyak diketahui ihwal riwayat toleransi dan kebebasan agama di AS; sebuah drama di mana Islam memain...
A History of Islam in America
Muslims began arriving in the New World long before the rise of the Atlantic slave trade. Kambiz GhaneaBassiri's fascinating book traces the history of Muslims in the United States and their different waves of immigration and conversion across five centuries, through colonial and antebellum America, through world wars and civil rights struggles, to the contemporary era. The book tells the often deeply moving stories of individual Muslims and their lives as immigrants and citizens within the broad context of the American religious experience, showing how that experience has been integral to the evolution of American Muslim institutions and practices. This is a unique and intelligent portrayal of a diverse religious community and its relationship with America. It will serve as a strong antidote to the current politicized dichotomy between Islam and the West, which has come to dominate the study of Muslims in America and further afield.

Islam and Liberal Citizenship
Some argue that Muslims have no tradition of separation of church and state and therefore can't participate in secular, pluralist society. At the other extreme, some Muslims argue that it is the duty of all believers to resist Western forms of government and to impose Islamic law. In Islam and Liberal Citizenship, Andrew F. March is seeking to find a middle way between these poles.
