After Savagery
Written during a genocide, After Savagery reveals the ethical bankruptcy of “Western philosophy” and how it undergirds the erasure of the colonized. The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism. What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that readers overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving “the West” as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence. If Israel is the West and the West is Israel, then Palestine is the world and the world is Palestine. Holding to glimmers from revolutionary works of literature and film, Dabashi argues, in grief and love, that the wretched of the earth need poetry after barbarism—and that Palestine is the site of a liberated imagination.

Native Lands analyzes the role of visual and literary culture in contemporary Indigenous campaigns for territorial rights. In the post-1960s era, Indigenous artists and writers have created works that align with the goals and strategies of new Native land-based movements. These works represent Native histories and epistemologies in ways that complement activist endeavors, while also probing the limits of these political projects, especially with regard to gender. The social marginalization of Native women was integral to dispossession. And yet its enduring consequences have remained largely neglected, even in Native organizing, as a pressing concern associated with the status of Indigenous people in settler nation-states. The cultural works discussed in this book provide an urgent Indigenous feminist rethinking of Native politics that exposes the innate gendered dimensions of ongoing settler colonialism. They insist that Indigenous campaigns for territorial rights must entail gender justice for Native women.

This issue of the American Journal of Islam and Society comprises three research articles that, taken together, explore the many ethical, historical, and conceptual resources through which Muslim thinkers and communities negotiate modernity, power, and knowledge across a wide range of diverse contexts. Whilst the articles differ in method and focus, ranging from decolonial philosophy and social history to political theology and metaphysical reflection, they are united by a shared concern with mediation: between spirit and politics, memory and archive, reform and tradition, and human and more-than-human worlds. Alongside these research articles, the issue also includes a wide-ranging selection of book reviews that include reviews of works discussing covenantal ethics in Islam, Islamic media and revolutionary subjectivities in Egypt, comparative theology and missionary encounters, and much more besides. It also includes a forum piece discussing Filip Ćorlukić’s Hermeneutics and Exegesis in his Translation of the Qurʾān and an in memoriam obituary of Dr. M. Yaqub Mirza (1946-2025) written by his son, Dr. Younus Y. Mirza.
