Since their beginnings in the ninth century, the shrines,
brotherhoods and doctrines of the Sufis held vast influence in
almost every corner of the Muslim world. Offering the first truly
global account of the history of Sufism, this illuminating book
traces the gradual spread and influence of Sufi Islam through the
Middle East, Asia, Africa, and ultimately into Europe and the
United States. * An ideal introduction to Sufism, requiring no
background knowledge of Islamic history or thought * Offers the
first history of Sufism as a global phenomenon, exploring its
movement and adaptation from the Middle East, through Asia and
Africa, to Europe and the United States of America * Covers the
entire historical period of Sufism, from its ninth century origins
to the end of the twentieth century * Devotes equal coverage to the
political, cultural, and social dimensions of Sufism as it does to
its theology and ritual * Dismantles the stereotypes of Sufis as
otherworldly 'mystics', by anchoring Sufi Muslims in the real lives
of their communities * Features the most up-to-date research on
Sufism available
