      abstract = {This book combines sociological theorising with studies on  the Middle East and Islam. The diversity of modernities  that can be observed in our world is linked to the claim of  living in a global modernity, in a world society. The book  underpins this claim with numerous excursions into Islamic  history. It criticises the view that modernisation can be  equated with westernisation and considers different  projects of specifically Islamic modernities as integral  parts of world society. From this perspective, the study  contributes to the "provincialisation" of European history  in contemporary social scientific thought. Contrary to the  theories of postcolonialism associated with the call for  the provincialisation of Europe, however, this book adheres  to essential traditions of classical sociology. It thus  aims to make a contribution to the social theoretical  discussion on modernity, which is empirically underpinned  with the help of data from the history of the Middle East  and Islam. The author Dr Dietrich Jung is Professor in the  Department of History and Director of the Center for Modern  Middle East and Muslim Studies at the University of  Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense.},
