The quest for authenticity in the pursuit of solutions to socioeconomic, political, and cultural problems (in this volume, most often referred to as cultural politics) has become inseparable from power politics. Arguably, recognition rather than self-assertion constitutes the culture's most hopeful posture.

Integral to the definition of culture in a globalizing world is the desire for recognition and determining how to coexist with those of different cultures. My personal curiosity about and deep commitment to the study of human rights and democratization in the Muslim world are both emotional and rational.Īs globalization permeates different societies, the debate intensifies over how to develop self-assertion, recognition, and new meanings in life. Not surprisingly, resistance to both national governments and external powers in the Muslim world has found deep resonance with human rights campaigns. In my subsequent research, I became interested in the impacts of globalization on Muslims' attempt to accommodate shifting identities and their search for new interests and sources of power while raising dissenting voices against their inept and abusive governments. My earlier research involved aspects of continuity and change, modernity and tradition, the emergence of civil society, and the discourse surrounding secular versus Islamic movements. My academic interests and involvement in trying to understand the ways in which human rights can be enhanced in the Muslim world date back to the 1980s, when a wave of Islamic revivalism throughout the Muslim world resulted in a profound transformation in perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of many Muslims, living in both the homeland and the diaspora. The concerns that led to this book were both academic and personal.
