Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the relationship between Sufism and society in the later medieval and early modern Islamic world. Thematically organized, it includes case studies drawn from the Middle Eastern, Turkic, Persian and South Asian regions. It looks to reconceptualize the study of Sufism during an under-researched period of its history.
