Arshad Alam

Inside a Madrasa

Knowledge, Power and Islamic Identity in India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Against a body of literature which suggests that madrasas spawn terrorism and religious violence, this study argues that such a focus obviates an impassioned understanding of the madrasa as a social institution and how they create and sustain a wide variety of possible interpretations of Islam.
