An increasing number of people have questions about Islam and
Muslims. But how can we approach and study Islam after September
11th? Which is the best methodology to understand an Islam that is
changing in a globalized world?
The Anthropology of Islam argues that Islam today needs to be
studied as a living religion through the observation of everyday
Muslim life. Drawing on extensive original fieldwork, Marranci
provides provocative analyses of Islam and its relation to issues
such as identities, politics, culture, power and gender.
The Anthropology of Islam is unprecedented in its innovative and
challenging discussion about fieldwork among Muslims, and its
ethnographically based interpretations of contemporary aspects of
Islam in a post-September 11th society. The book will appeal to
those in anthropology and beyond who see and are interested in
investigating the unsettled place of Islam in our multicultural
society.
