Produktbeschreibung

¿Islamic religion has become an object of political discourse in ways that also affects academic reflection; against this background this volume aims to provide a theoretically and empirically founded assessment of where social sciences currently stand with regard to Islam. For this purpose, the volume continues to develop the sociological knowledge of Islam that began in the 1980s. Given the Orientalism inherent in sociology, the volume focuses on Muslim knowledge systems and institutions, as well as the practice of Muslim religiosity in various social contexts stretching from Algeria and Morocco to Turkey.

Prof. Dr. Christel Gärtner works at the University of Münster in the Cluster of Excellence "Religion und Politik".

Prof. Dr. Heidemarie Winkel teaches sociology at Bielefeld University and is Senior Research Associate at Cambridge University.
