Islam In World Culture

Islam In World Culture By R Micheal Feener: For many people in the United States, the dramatic and tragic events of and

following September 11, 2001, seem to have exploded into the world from

out of nowhere. Over the weeks and months that followed, a new awareness

of the roles of Islam in countries ranging from Afghanistan to the Philippines

began to emerge. However, in the process, phenomena that have only recently

come into mainstream American public consciousness via mass media

coverage are often presented there without the kind of background materials

that are helpful in analyzing and understanding such developments. Popular

media reportage can only go so far in providing contexts for understanding

current events in different societies around the world. The chapters in this

book attempt to provide a deeper grounding for discussions of contemporary

Muslim societies.

This short volume can provide only a critical selection of studies rather than

comprehensive coverage of all Muslim societies. Thus we have been unable to

include, for example, chapters on western Africa or eastern Europe. Nevertheless,

the in-depth explorations of the societies that are discussed here can serv e

as introductions to the complexities of contemporary Islam as it is lived by

Muslims in local as well as global contexts. In their discussions of race, language,

politics, and piety in diverse Muslim societies, these chapters bring to

light some of the most consequential issues affecting the interpretations of Islam

and the experiences of Muslims in the modern world. In this introduction

I will present an overview of Islam that highlights earlier historical developments

that have shaped the tradition for centuries and that continue to inform

debates and discussions in many Muslim societies today. So this book contain a wide rang information from all over the world of Muslim Culture.
