In Reading Islam Fabio Vicini offers a journey within the intimate
relations, reading practices, and forms of intellectual engagement
that regulate Muslim life in two enclosed religious communities in
Istanbul. Combining anthropological observation with textual and
genealogical analysis, he illustrates how the modes of thought and
social engagement promoted by these two communities are the outcome
of complex intellectual entanglements with modern discourses about
science, education, the self, and Muslims' place and responsibility
in society. In this way, Reading Islam sheds light on the formation
of new generations of faithful and socially active Muslims over the
last thirty years and on their impact on the turn of Turkey from an
assertive secularist Republic to an Islamic-oriented form of
governance.
