{"product_id":"9781783601912","title":"A Fundamental Fear: Eurocentrism and the Emergence of Islamism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Fundamental Fear\u003c\/i\u003e was written in 1997, long before 9\/11 and the global rise of a new generation of Islamic fundamentalist groups. Its author, S. Sayyid, offered what we recognize now as a prescient warning of a dangerous specter he saw haunting Western civilization. His groundbreaking book offers an analysis of the conditions that have made Islamic fundamentalism possible and provides a provocative account of the ways in which Muslim identities over the last two decades have come to play an increasingly political role in the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill as timely and urgent as when it was originally published, \u003ci\u003eA Fundamental Fear \u003c\/i\u003epresents the complicated story of why individuals chose to kill and be killed in the name of religion. Sayyid argues that the fear and anxiety aroused by Islamism is not a myth or a simple consequence of terrorism, but it is intricately tied to our experience of the slow collapse of the Western world order. This new edition brings this powerful book to a new readership during a time of continued crisis in the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zed Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057229316336,"sku":"9781783601912","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783601912_p0.jpg?v=1769892669","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783601912","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
