Globalized Islam : The Search for a New Ummah
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Olivier Roy is perhaps the most provocative and innovative writer on Islamism today.... There is no more reliable guide to this labyrinth." -- Martin Kramer, Middle East Quarterly
"His new book provides one of the best and most detailed snapshots of 'real existing Islam' currently available." -- Jonathan Steele, The Guardian
"Nuanced discussion." -- Nader Hashemi, Globe and Mail
"Roy cuts through the mystical veil of religion... Globalized Islam gets under the skin of today's quintessentially modern forms of Islam and points the debate in a new direction." -- Josie Appleton, Spiked Online
"Superb and complex sociological study." -- Fawaz A. Gerces, Washington Post Book World
"[Roy] suggest[s] that the important events in the world of Islam are taking place not in the regions we ordinarily think of as Islamic but in Europe." -- Noah Feldman, New York Times Book Review
"A very well-informed tour of the complexities of contemporary Islam." -- Future Survey
"Oliver Roy's writings are always worth reading, and Globalized Islam is no exception." -- Middle East Journal
"This book is a wonderful exploration of ideas on the future of Islamic radicalism." -- LCDR Aboul-Enein, Strategic Insight
"Always ahead of his time." -- Reuel Marc Gerecht, Weekly Standard
"Roy is enormously knowledgeable and well aware of the problems faced by young Muslims." -- Lawrence Rosen, London Review of Books
"Roy's sociological theories cast a refreshing light on Islam's role as a minority religion in the West." -- American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences
Review
"This book extends the argument of Roy's The Failure of Political Islam, both by taking into account the momentous impact of new jihad movements like Al Qaeda, as well as by looking closely at the development of immigrant groups in the West.... Brilliant insights on almost every page." -- Faisal Devji, Yale University
