After twenty issues and ten years of life, the biannual multilingual journal Oasis relaunches: the new issue
"Islam at the crossroads. Tradition, reform, jihad" will be out on 4 June with a new cover, format and graphic layout and with a new publisher, Marsilio. The idea that led to re-designing the journal is simple. The events of the recent months, from Isis terrorism in the West, to the Middle East in flames, to the problems raised by the increasingly "mixed" societies, confirm the initial intuition that led to the founding of Oasis in 2004 but at the same time require a further step to be made. Actually, three steps. They will be presented in a public meeting to be held:
Friday, 5 June at 6pm at Oasis headquarters in Piazza San Giorgio, 2 - Milano.
Speakers
Card. Angelo Scola, Archbishop of Milan and president of Oasis
Luciano Fontana, director of the Corriere della Sera
Marco Tarquinio, director of Avvenire
Roberto Rho, chief editor of Repubblica, Milan edition
Shahrzad Houshmand, professor of Islamic studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
