Asian Islam in the 21st Century

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Although more than half of the world's Muslims live in Asia, most of the widely read books on contemporary Islam focus on developments in the Middle East, giving short shrift to experiences in some of the largest Muslim countries in the world. The studies collected in this book look at the changes happening both in Muslim majority countries and in societies where Muslims are a minority. Among the contributors are such prominent scholars as Fred von der Mehden, ValiNasr, Hakan Yavuz, and John Voll. This book will serve as the successor to Esposito's influential 1987 collection, Islam in Asia.
