In Sufism East and West, the contributors investigate the
redirection and dynamics of Sufism in the modern era, specifically
from the perspective of global cross-cultural exchange. Edited by
Jamal Malik and Saeed Zarrabi-Zadeh, the book explores the role of
mystical Islam in the complex interchange and fluidity in the
resonance spaces of "East" and "West." The volume challenges the
enduring Orientalist binary coding of East-versus-West and argues
instead for a more mutual process of cultural plaiting and shared
tradition. By highlighting amendments, adaptations and expansions
of Sufi semantics during the last centuries, it also questions the
persistent perception of Sufism in its post-classical epoch as a
corrupt imitation of the legacy of the great Sufis of the past.
