{"product_id":"9780253000897","title":"Shari'a Politics: Islamic Law and Society in the Modern World","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important developments in Muslim politics in recent years\u003cbr\u003e has been the spread of movements calling for the implementation of shari'a or\u003cbr\u003e Islamic law. Shari'ʻa Politics maps the ideals and organization of these\u003cbr\u003e movements and examines their implications for the future of democracy, citizen\u003cbr\u003e rights, and gender relations in the Muslim world. These studies of eight\u003cbr\u003e Muslim-majority societies, and state-of-the-field reflections by leading experts,\u003cbr\u003e provide the first comparative investigation of movements for and against\u003cbr\u003e implementation of shari'a. These essays reveal that the Muslim public's interest\u003cbr\u003e in shari'a does not spring from an unchanging devotion to received religious\u003cbr\u003e tradition, but from an effort to respond to the central political and ethical\u003cbr\u003e questions of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120213541104,"sku":"9780253000897","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253000897","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
