At Freedom's Limit: Islam and the Postcolonial Predicament is a critique of how the current anthropology and sociology of Islam has used Muslims as a discursive site on which contemporary aporias of modernity are worked out. The book shows that some of the most intricate critiques of Islamism and of state theocracy are being produced by theologically adept Muslim writers.
