Struggling with Modernity
- 1993 ----- color ----- 49 min ----- vhs
- (Living Islam series, Part 3) The West often associates Islam with technological backwardness, religious intolerance and a savage penal code. Is this justified? Or should the concept of "modernity" be seen in the context of the Third World and a fundamentally different world view? Views the Iranian revolution as a powerful symbol for the rejection of the modern world. Looks the tensions within Islamic states as they attempt to make their laws and practices compatible with the 21st Century while remaining true to the spirit of the faith. (Funded by the Department of Anthropology)
- Topics: (Anthropology: Cultural, Middle Eastern Studies, Religions: Islamic)
