Beschreibung

21x13cm, 163 pp., Translated from the Persian by Ali A. Behzadnia & Najla Denny. Text in English. ["Ali Shariati was a highly influential Iranian revolutionary and sociologist, who focused on the sociology of religion. He is known as one of the most original and influential Iranian social thinkers of the 20th century, and has been called the 'ideologue of the Iranian Revolution'(.,.) Shariati's works were highly influenced by the Marxism and Third Worldism that he encountered as a student in Paris - ideas that class war and revolution would bring about a just and classless society - from one side, and the Islamic Puritanism (or the Islamic Reformation) movements of his time from the other side. He is said to have adopted the idea of Gharbzadegi from Jalal Al-e Ahmad and given it "its most vibrant and influential second life." He sought to translate these ideas into cultural symbols of Shiism that Iranians could relate to. He believed Shia should not merely await the return of the 12th Imam but should actively work to hasten his return by fighting for social justice, "even to the point of embracing martyrdom", saying "everyday is Ashoura, every place is Karbala." Shariati referred to his brand of Shiism as "red Shiism" which he contrasted with clerical-dominated, unrevolutionary " black Shiism" or Safavid Shiism. His ideas have been compared to the Catholic Liberation Theology movement founded in South America by Peruvian Gustavo Gutierrez and Brazilian Leonardo Boff" - wikipedia].
