The essays brought together in Islam, Law and Identity are the
product of a series of interdisciplinary workshops that brought
together scholars from a plethora of countries. Funded by the
British Academy the workshops convened over a period of two years
in London, Cairo and Izmir. The workshops and the ensuing papers
focus on recent debates about the nature of sacred and secular law
and most engage case studies from specific countries including
Egypt, Israel, Kazakhstan, Mauritania, Pakistan and the UK. Islam,
Law and Identity also addresses broader and over-arching concerns
about relationships between religion, human rights, law and
modernity. Drawing on a variety of theoretical and empirical
approaches, the collection presents law as central to the complex
ways in which different Muslim communities and institutions create
and re-create their identities around inherently ambiguous symbols
of faith. From their different perspectives, the essays argue that
there is no essential conflict between secular law and Shari`a but
various different articulations of the sacred and the secular.
Islam, Law and Identity explores a more nuanced and sophisticated
understanding of the tensions that animate such terms as Shari`a
law, modernity and secularization
