The revival of madrasas in the 1980s coincided with the rise of
political Islam and soon became associated with the "clash of
civilizations" between Islam and the West. This volume examines the
rapid expansion of madrasas across Asia and the Middle East and
analyses their role in society within their local, national and
global context. Based on anthropological investigations in
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, Iran, and Pakistan, the chapters
take a new approach to the issue, examining the recent phenomenon
of women in madrasas; Hui Muslims in China; relations between the
Iran's Shia seminary after the 1979-Islamic revolution and Shia in
Pakistan and Afghanistan; and South Asian madrasas. Emphasis is
placed on the increased presence of women in these institutions,
and the reciprocal interactions between secular and religious
schools in those countries. Taking into account social, political
and demographic changes within the region, the authors show how
madrasas have been successful in responding to the educational
demand of the people and how they have been modernized their style
to cope with a changing environment. A timely contribution to a
subject with great international appeal, this book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of international politics,
political Islam, Middle East and Asian studies and anthropology.
