Locale, Everyday Islam, and Modernity

Qasbah Towns and Muslim Life in Colonial India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents qasbahs as centers of intense intellectual and cultural activity in colonial India and as networks of social life, education, print culture, literary production, and intellectual dialogue. It also demonstrates that the emergence of modernity among the Muslims was a process during their colonial encounter in which qasbah residents were active agents and the Islam that emerged was that of everyday living.
