THE UNIVERSAL ENEMY

JIHAD, EMPIRE, AND THE CHALLENGE OF SOLIDARITY

In a radical departure from conventional wisdom on the topic, University of Chicago Professor Darryl Li argues that transnational jihadists are engaged in their own form of universalism: these fighters struggle to realize an Islamist vision directed at all of humanity, transcending racial and cultural difference.
