Sufism and Transcendentalism
«Taking her cue from Derrida’s writing about différance and hospitality, Elham Shayegh presents an enlightening comparative reading of the poetry of Rumi and Whitman, in order to model a less reified relationship between self and other than the one that tosses up rhetoric—from all sides—about a “clash of civilizations.” This is a hopeful book that deserves a readership in these difficult times.»
