Reviews
From the reviews:
“The papers are written in the frame of the debate about what constitutes an anthropology of Islam, and appropriately, respond with and from ethnographic work. … With its range of geographical contexts and authorial perspectives, it is a valuable contribution to thinking within the anthropology of Islam. … it raises issues that will help our understanding of other religions and of humanity.” (Moyra Dale, Aseasuk News, Issue 54, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
