The New World of Islam is a historical examination of the transformative period within the Islamic world following the Great War. The book explores the evolving political, cultural, and religious landscapes of Islam, stretching from Morocco to China, in response to both internal decay and external challenges. Stoddard focuses on the waves of reform movements, particularly the Mohammedan Revival and Pan-Islamism, which emerged as attempts to revive and purify Islam. These movements, driven by influential figures, sought to reclaim Islamic integrity in a world rapidly changing due to Western influence and modernity. Stoddard highlights how these movements represent a struggle to balance tradition with the need for adaptation in a new global context. The text also touches on the broader political and cultural implications of these shifts, considering the interaction between Islam and the West, as well as the internal challenges facing the Muslim world. Stoddard’s work provides insight into the complexities of the Islamic response to modernization, religious reform, and political change.
