Drawing on ethnographic research, Living Sharia examines the role
of sharia in the sociopolitical processes of contemporary Malaysia.
The book traces the contested implementation of Islamic family and
criminal laws and sharia economics to provide cultural frameworks
for understanding sharia among Muslims and non-Muslims. Timothy
Daniels explores how the way people think about sharia is often
entangled with notions about race, gender equality, nationhood,
liberal pluralism, citizenship, and universal human rights. He
reveals that Malaysians' ideas about sharia are not isolated
from-nor always opposed to-liberal pluralism and secularism. Living
Sharia will be of interest to scholars as well as to policy makers,
consultants, and professionals working with global NGOs.
