Reviews

"- "The strength of Weyer's book lies in its rehearsal of Islamic-Western relations and its analysis of capitalist globalism. Van de Weyer saliently recognizes the role of shame, as well as the more frequently noted one of moral outrage, in Islamic reaction to economic imperialism." - Booklist
