Critics Review
“Dabashi makes a compelling claim in the epistemic violence created by “The West and Islam” that fits suitably in the ongoing work of decolonial scholarship.” * Reading Religion *
“The precise and thoughtful interdisciplinary approach in The End of Two Illusions offers a vital contribution to perspectives on international relations, conflict, and dialogue. This text should be read by anyone involved or interested in understanding the reality of global political and cultural relationships in the twenty-first century.” * Journal of South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies *
“Dabashi, a prolific and respected scholar, smashes this illusory binary in his impressive but challenging book.” * CHOICE *
