In this powerful but accessible new study John Bowen draws on a
full range of work in social anthropology to present Islam in ways
that emphasise its constitutive practices, from praying and
learning to judging and political organising. Starting at the heart
of Islam revelation and learning in Arabic lands Bowen shows how
Muslims have adapted Islamic texts and traditions to ideas and
conditions in the societies in which they live. Returning to key
case studies in Indonesia, Africa, Pakistan and Western Europe to
explore each major domain of Islamic religious and social life,
Bowen also considers the theoretical advances in social
anthropology that have come out of the study of Islam. A New
Anthropology of Islam is essential reading for all those interested
in the study of Islam and for those following new developments in
the discipline of anthropology.
