The Silk Road and Beyond attempts to capture lived realities across
Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Finland,
Britain, USA, Palestine, Switzerland, Finland, and the
subcontinent. It also aims at initiating readers into encountering
Muslim heritage across the four continents where cultures share
commonalities beyond the narrowly defined premise of conflicts.
This book is an effort to capture history, literature, mobility,
crafts, architectural traditions, and cultural vistas by focusing
on diverse Muslim individuals, communities, cities, and their
edifices. It attempts to reconstruct deeper and munificent aspects
of Muslim histories and lived experience that often stay ignored by
the writers and travellers. Normative accounts of cities such as
Bukhara, Jerusalem, Isfahan, Fes, Samarkand, Granada, Palermo,
Cordova, or Konya may lifelessly posit them as sheer tourist
destinations, ignoring their cultural and historical depth. Written
in an autobiographical genre, this book benefits from a
40-year-long exposure and encounters with the vibrant lives across
the four continents as experienced by a curious Muslim academic at
different stages of his life. The reader can explore and relish
these predominantly Muslim locales along with a frequent exposure
to r socio-intellectual institutions in Europe and the United
States.
