Rezensionen

"Evocative, lucid writing frames and enhances the powerfully localizing and sense-oriented logic that organizes this collection. Invoking smell, sound, and sight to re-frame Islam's presence in Europe, its authors dismantle preconceived assumptions about Islamic culture and heritage, thereby moving us away from the administrative obsessions of colonial academia, the hostility of dominant and state-supported religious institutions, and the self-congratulation of a narrow European humanism." - Michael Herzfeld, Ernest E. Monrad Research Professor of the Social Sciences, Harvard University.

"This is a highly stimulating collection of essays [...] that moves on from generalities and narrow definitions and from the assumptions and well-funded pieties of the recent past. Fresh research and practice give it a welcome edge. The scope of this book is impressive- not only geographical but also conceptual. It's also user-focused, which is surprisingly rare in this field." - John Reeve, Tutor at the Institute of Education and former Head of Education at the British Museum.

"A tour de force, this collection takes readers away from the well-trodden path of positivist art historical and archaeological analysis of Islamic heritage, offering instead a compelling, in situ investigation of the contemporary period, and a thorough guide to the most exciting works-in-progress in the field today." -- Virginie Rey, Deakin University, International Journal of Heritage Studies.
