    VIVA BOOKS PRIVATE LIMITED Teaching Islam by Eleanor Abdella Doumato Gregory Starrett

    Much has been made of the role that Saudi Arabia education system played in fostering the hatred that fueled the September 11 terror attacks. But do Saudi textbooks deserve to be faulted for fostering violence? And have wahhabi ideas infiltrated the Islamic textbooks used in public schools throughout the middle East? Confronting these questions teaching Islam explores the political and social priorities behind religious education in nine middle Eastern countries.≪ br/> The authors reveal dramatic differences in the way that Islam is presented in textbooks across the range of countries reflecting local histories and the policy interests of the state. They also illustrate the perhaps surprising adaptability of Islam as leaders strive to reconcile Muslim identity with both state citizenship and the modern reality of an interdependent globalized world.≪ br/>< br/>about the authoreleanor a. Doumato is visiting fellow at the Watson Institute for international studies Brown University. Her publications include women and globalisation in the Arab middle East: gender economy and society (coedited with marsha pripstein posusney) and getting gods ear: women Islam and healing in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Gregory starrett is Associate Professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is the author of putting Islam to work: education politics and religious transformation in Egypt.
