Islam: Continuity and Change in the Modern World, Second Edition - Paperback
by John Obert Voll (Author)
John Voll's new edition of Islam provides a perfect introduction to someone seeking a comprehensive, single-volume history. His opening chapters briefly discuss the historical background with the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century through the rise of the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, while the final two chapters, totally rewritten for this edition, cover the significant events of the 1980s and 1990s. The bibliographical comments and suggestions for further reading have been updated. There is also a useful glossary of non-English terms.
JOHN Obert Voll is professor of history at the University of New Hampshire, a past president of the Middle East Studies Association, and the author of the Historical Dictionary of the Sudan, coauthor of The Contemporary Islamic Revival, and coeditor of Eighteenth-Century Renewal and Reform in Islam.
