Suggesting that Islam should be seen as an ally by Christians in their attempts to civilise the world, this book explores his critics' views at the time and the persistence of anti-Islamic attitudes. A century later his grandson E. M. Forster's time in Egypt and India informed his own writing on class and racial bias. His contribution to challenging social attitudes is discussed against the backdrop of prevailing stereotypes and prejudices, exploring also his romantic relations with two Muslim men at a time when any type of inter-racial friendship was regarded as suspicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClinton Bennet\u003c\/b\u003e teaches Religious Studies at the State University of New York at New Paltz\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 March 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350529519\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e176\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51197231333516,"sku":"9781350529519","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_015b4982-c6c6-4218-95d0-c4f9a645e726.jpg?v=1782962387","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350529519","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
