Written by scholars from a range of disciplines concerned with the Middle East and Islam (history, religious studies, anthropology, sociology, political science) and covering the Muslim world extensively (from Malaysia, Turkey, Sudan, Egypt, Israel/Palestine to Muslim communities in Europe and the United States), this important contribution to the debate on globalization sets a standard in dealing with this pervasive force in the field of Islamic and Middle Eastern studies.

About this title

Review:

Fresh and interesting.... The case studies are rich in data, and the theoretical and historical studies are nuanced and insightful.... Because of the widespread belief in a civilizations, both in popular forms and in parts of the academy, the subtle yet powerful critique that this book offers is timely, important, and valuable. - Carl Ernst
