PART ONE PART TWO
The author, internationally recognized as a notable scientific thinker, brings fresh insight to the field of anthropology. Reflecting both sincerity and keen discernment, he takes up this challenge of scholarship in an important area of the Islamization of knowledge. In Part I, Dr. Ahmed reviews the science of Anthropology and compares its development with that of other disciplines. He also shows how given historical and political periods, such as the "colonial era," forced erroneous methodological frameworks upon the discipline. In Part 11, the author establishes the fact that Anthropology had its roots in the Islamic scientific heritage, dating back to the tenth Hijri century. He concludes that anthropologists "must transcend" themselves and their cultures, to a position where they can "speak to, and understand those around them in terms of their special humanity, irrespective of color, caste or creed."
