The essays in Islamic Ecumene address the ways in which Muslims
from Morocco to Indonesia and from sub-Saharan Africa to the
steppes of Uzbekistan are members of a broad cultural unit.
Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of
languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse
forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews
shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the
co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of
disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and
interconnected ways. The result is a book that showcases ethics,
education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political
resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals. Using the
insights and methods of historians, anthropologists, literary
critics, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists,
Islamic Ecumene seeks to understand Islamic identity as a dynamic
phenomenon that is reflected in the multivalent practices of the
more than one billion people across the planet who identify as
Muslims.
