Opis

This volume examines Muslim societies across Europe, North Africa, Central Asia and South Asia from the 18th century to 2003, providing fresh insight through comparison. The contributors examine the characteristics of peaceful symbiotic relationships with other peoples as well as a series of conflicts, such as ethnic strife and interregional conflicts, between Muslims and non-Muslims. Movements and populations covered include the 19th-century North African Sansusi movement and its relationships to Sufis and Arabs of the region, Soviet and Chinese Central Asia, Muslim-Hindu relationships in South Asia, Muslims in Syria and Muslim immigrants in Europe. With its wide historical and geographical breadth, Muslim Societies seeks to develop Western understanding of the Muslim world and to appreciate contemporary Muslim issues through their historical origins.
