      abstract = {"In Islam Through Western Eyes, Jonathan Lyons unpacks  Western habits of thinking and writing about Islam,  conducting a careful analysis of the West's grand  totalizing narrative across one thousand years of history.  He observes the discourse's corrosive effects on the social  sciences, including sociology, politics, philosophy,  theology, international relations, security studies, and  human rights scholarship. He follows its influence on  research, speeches, political strategy, and government  policy, preventing the West from responding effectively to  its most significant twenty-first-century challenges: the  rise of Islamic power, the emergence of religious violence,  and the growing tension between established social values  and multicultural rights among Muslim immigrant  populations."--book jacket.},
