| Publisher Description: Husein ozo (1912-1982), was a prominent Bosnian scholar and mufti who lived and worked in communist Yugoslavia. Through the medium of his fatawa, Qur'anic interpretation and other writings, ozo responded to the challenges he and his people were faced with, above all the so-called 'Yugoslav Communism' and modernity. Through the prism of ozo's spirit and thought, the ideas of the so-called 'modernist' and 'reformist' interpretations of Islam gained a dimension in Eastern Europe. Contextualising ozo's work and ideas in relation to both modern and to a lesser extent classical Islamic scholarship, A Muslim Reformist in Communist Yugoslavia is the first indepth study of the thought and writings of any contemporary Bosnian Muslim scholar in English. |
