«Zwischen Europa und Islam: 115 Gegenpredigten» is an essay by Abdelwahab Meddeb, published by Wunderhorn in hardback (418 pages, in German).
The author brings together 115 short pieces arising from his radio collaborations between 2003 and 2006. With a critical eye, he examines the relationship between Europe and Islam, dismantles myths, addresses taboos and analyses culture, art and politics to question puritanical fundamentalism and reveal a religion with liberating potential still to be discovered.
Published in 2007, translated from the French by Rainer G. Schmidt; the texts come from broadcasts for Radio Méditerranée in Tangier.
A work for readers interested in contemporary Islam, critical thought and dialogue between Europe and the Muslim world.
