Marshall Hodgson Then and Now

Edmund Burke Iıı

Abstract

Hodgson, the man of conscience makes academics uneasy. As well he should. Yet his moral commitment, the

very thing that for so long made him a semi-pariah in academia, is a beacon of hope to a new generation of

readers interested in alternatives to the present state of the post-9/11 Middle East field. A Quaker pacifist who

was interned in Camp Elkton, Oregon for refusing to serve in World War II, Hodgson was a man of principle and

courage whose quirky intelligence produced The Venture of Islam, a three volume textbook history of Islamic

civilization.
