What is Sufism? Contemporary views vary tremendously, even among
Sufis themselves. Contemporary Sufism: Piety, Politics, and Popular
Culture brings to light the religious frameworks that shape the
views of Sufism's friends, adversaries, admirers, and detractors
and, in the process, helps readers better understand the diversity
of contemporary Sufism, the pressures and cultural openings to
which it responds, and the many divergent opinions about
contemporary Sufism's relationship to Islam. The three main themes:
piety, politics, and popular culture are explored in relation to
the Islamic and Western contexts that shape them, as well as to the
historical conditions that frame contemporary debates. This book is
split into three parts: * Sufism and anti-Sufism in contemporary
contexts; * Contemporary Sufism in the West: Poetic influences and
popular manifestations; * Gendering Sufism: Tradition and
transformation. This book will fascinate anyone interested in the
challenges of contemporary Sufism as well as its relationship to
Islam, gender, and the West. It offers an ideal starting point from
which undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers and
lecturers can explore Sufism today.
