Description
The Last Muslim Intellectual: The Life and Legacy of Jalal Al-e Ahmad by Hamid Dabashi is an insightful and critical exploration of one of Iran’s most influential intellectuals of the 20th century. Jalal Al-e Ahmad was a prominent writer, social critic, and thinker best known for his concept of Gharbzadegi (Westoxication), a powerful critique of Western cultural domination and its effects on non-Western societies. In this book, Dabashi examines Al-e Ahmad’s life, writings, and political activism, portraying him as a pivotal figure who navigated the complex intersections of religion, modernity, nationalism, and anti-colonial struggle. Dabashi argues that Al-e Ahmad represents the archetype of the “last Muslim intellectual,” someone deeply engaged with the cultural and philosophical dilemmas of the Muslim world in the postcolonial era. Through a nuanced analysis, Dabashi situates Al-e Ahmad within the broader intellectual history of Iran and the Muslim world, highlighting his lasting influence on revolutionary movements and contemporary thought. The Last Muslim Intellectual offers an important reflection on the role of intellectuals in societies grappling with modernity, identity, and resistance.
