Description
Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror by Mahmood Mamdani This thought-provoking book offers a clear and insightful examination of the factors that led to the 9/11 attacks and the global repercussions on Muslims everywhere. Mahmood Mamdani, a distinguished political scientist and anthropologist, challenges the common perception of "good" and "bad" Muslims, arguing that these labels refer to political rather than cultural or religious identities. Mamdani's analysis reveals how the modern encounter with Western power led to the emergence of political Islam, and how the terrorist movement at the center of Islamist politics is a more recent phenomenon. He also explores the Reagan years, highlighting how America's embrace of proxy war and ideological politics contributed to the rise of militant nationalist governments and terrorist movements.
