This collection of papers emphasises the danger of making the West the ultimate point of reference and then trying to con-tinuously play “catch up” with it. The book aims to uncover some of the biases latent in our terminology, methodologies,research tools and conceptual principles and proposes alternative ones marked by a greater degree of independence andneutrality; i.e. when Western scholarship says “development psychology” why do Muslims hurry to use the same term?

MARITAL DISCORD: Recapturing the Full Islamic Spirit of Human Dignity by Abdulhamid A. AbuSulayman

This paper examines the issue of marital discord with a deep sensitivity to the perspective of women. Criticising an approach to the Quran that is misogynistic rather than emancipatory the paper moves the debate forward by introducing an alternative interpretation of the Quranic text. The explanation is fresh, firmly on the side of women's human rights and recaptures the full Islamic spirit of human dignity.
