Compelling and original, this book offers a unique insight into the modern Islamic corporation, revealing how power, relationships, individual identities, gender roles, and practices - and often massive financial resources - are mobilized on behalf of Islam.

Recenzje

'Corporate Islam is a much-needed text on the contemporary engagement of economy with sharia and its demands and outcomes for both producers and consumers in the economy. The ethnography, which is rich and authoritative, highlights the distinctiveness of the Malaysian case … and it is sure to influence future scholars in the field for many years to come.' Sarah A. Tobin, Islamic Law and Society
