Focusing on the region of the Arab world--comprising some two hundred million people and twenty-one sovereign states extending from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf--this book develops a theory of social change that demystifies the setbacks this region has experienced on the road to transformation. Professor Sharabi pinpoints economic, political, social, and cultural changes in the last century that led the Arab world, as well as other developing countries, not to modernity but to neopatriarchy--a modernized form of patriarchy. He shows how authentic change was blocked and distorted forms and practices subsequently came to dominate all aspects of social existence and activity--among them militant religious fundamentalism, an ideology symptomatic of neopatriarchal culture. Presenting itself as the only valid option, Muslim fundamentalism now confronts the elements calling for secularism and democracy in a bitter battle whose outcome is likely to determine the future of the Arab
world as well as that of other Muslim societies in Africa and Asia.

Industry Reviews

'brief but impressively rich and thought-provoking book ... The book is a valuable reference for students of the Middle East. With greater theoretical refinements, it could serve as a solid source for developmental studies.' Mehran Tamadonfar, University of Nevada, International Journal of Middle East Studies, Vol. 26:1
