Islam – Peace – Nonviolence A SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled by Karim Douglas Crow, Coordinator– Islam and Peace Copyright © Nonviolence International, September 1998 The items given here are restricted primarily to English language publications, with the addition of a limited number of Arabic and French or Italian titles. No attempt is made to be comprehensive for materials published in Islamic languages (Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu, Bahasa Indonesia ...); those which are included are almost always from the modern period. Readers are warned that concentration on Occidental publications may result in misleading or insufficient information. Only for the topic ‘Nonviolence’ is special attention is given to translations into Arabic. Diverse themes touching upon Peace find their place here. Boundaries for inclusion embrace the ethical, social–cultural, psychological, cognitive, and ideological experiences of Muslims, both in the past and the present, with an emphasis on themes of peacebuilding, cultural identity, social transformation, and normative values. Some attention is also given to the related topics of human rights, gender equality, and Islamic polity and governance. Occasionally, brief comments on an item’s utility or content are provided, and those deemed to be particularly significant or noteworthy are marked by an initial asterisk. Names of authors may occur both in technical English transliteration and in their published form in Latin script.
