This volume explores various aspects of human mobility--both
spatial and social--in Muslim societies from the earliest Islamic
period to present times. In general, high mobility has been
observed among Muslims throughout their history. The pilgrimage to
Mecca is one of the five religious duties, and many Muslim
travellers, such as Ibn Battuta, voyaged through vast areas of the
known world. However, the social and political impact of their
movements or their being forced to move has rarely been analyzed
from a multi-disciplinary approach. Researchers specializing in
history, literature, anthropology, sociology and politics from
eight countries contributed their insights on the mobility of both
Muslims and non-Muslims in this multi-faceted volume, which will
shed new light on the meaning of mobility and the movement of human
beings in the even more globalized world of today.
