Tauris, 2004. 432 pages.)	2006.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1117	40	46	In devising a framework for what they call the “dialectical relation- ship” between twentieth-century Islamic thought and modernity, Suha Taji-Farouki and Basheer Nafi have resolved to construct their account around three themes: the emergence of new spokespersons, the diversity of twentieth-century Muslim discourse, and the connections and disrup- tions between Islamic thought and the rest of “the global intellectual arena” (p. 5). As a result of their encounter with western scholarship, Muslim intellectuals felt increasingly compelled to respond to what they saw as Orientalist distortions.	cache/ajiss-1619.pdf	txt/ajiss-1619.txt
