Schooling Islam: The Culture and Politics of Modern Muslim Education (Princeton Studies in Muslim Politics)
"Hefner provides the reader with an excellent historical background which can help in appreciating the scale of the change now taking place in Islamic education, and their implications for public culture and politics. . . . This book is highly recommended for American and European media pundits and politicians to read and be honest with themselves and their constituents about the positive nature of mainstream madrasas throughout the Muslim world, and stop demonizing them, and the education they provide."--Mohammed M. Aman, Ph.D.,Digest of Middle East Studies
