The Politics Of Anti-westernism In Asia: Visions Of World Order In Pan-islamic And Pan-asian Thought

摘要

This book is a timely reminder that very little in the study of civilisation, nationalism and identity is ever really new, and that the Eurocentric global system we see in transition today carries with it a legacy of resistance and change from an earlier, though still familiar, era. Cemil Aydin's project has cast a wide net spanning the gulf between 1880 and 1945 in offering a distinctive re-examination of the imagining of the West using civilisational, cultural and religious cues which resound with clarity in our own times.
