520 "In Islam Through Western Eyes, Jonathan Lyons unpacks
Western habits of thinking and writing about Islam,
conducting a careful analysis of the West's grand
totalizing narrative across one thousand years of history.
He observes the discourse's corrosive effects on the
social sciences, including sociology, politics, philosophy,
theology, international relations, security studies, and
human rights scholarship. He follows its influence on
research, speeches, political strategy, and government
policy, preventing the West from responding effectively to
its most significant twenty-first-century challenges: the
rise of Islamic power, the emergence of religious violence,
and the growing tension between established social values
and multicultural rights among Muslim immigrant
populations."--Jacket
