Drawing on theories of legal pluralism, this book tests whether and
to what extent claims of the modern nation-state laws to exclusive
dominance over other spheres are tenable, and reassesses the
operation of law in society. Incorporating a combination of legal
theory, post-modern critique and socio-legal analysis of three
current jurisdictions in which Muslims play an important role, the
volume identifies Muslims' current socio-legal situation and
attitudes from different perspectives and reconciles them with
modern legal systems in three key countries. It analyzes the
conflict between the assumptions of modern legal systems and plural
legal realities, and also examines attempts by modern legal systems
to impose official laws in the face of resistance from unofficial
Muslim laws and discusses possible responses to the challenge of
dynamic Muslim legal pluralism. A valuable resource for students,
researchers and academics with an interest in the areas of Islamic
law and politics, and the interplay between secular law and
religious/cultural traditions.
