Why History Matters w/Yakoob Ahmed

his episode could equally be titled "ReOrienting History Islamically". Adnan is joined by historian of late Ottoman history and author of Why History Matters: Reviving Faith Through the Lens of History to talk about Eurocentric historiography and historical consciousness and whether Islamicate history provides alternatives and how global or world history might benefit from a reorientation. This is a crucial question not only for Muslims or scholars of history. It is evident that this history is understood principally through orientalist assumptions and frameworks that propose "western modernity" as the only standard for envisioning sovereign futures. As a result, rethinking and reorienting history is of universal concern and interest for understanding the human and envisioning a future beyond the hegemony of Western imperialist racial capitalism. What can studying not only Islamicate history but history "islamically" contribute to envisioning a just, equitable future for humanity? We'll ask Dr. Yakoob Ahmed and discuss the issues with you, so post your comments and questions!
