Edinburgh Studies in Anthropology of Islam
Series Editor(s): Caroline Tee, Ashraf Hoque
Showcases the empirical and theoretical contributions of social anthropology to the study of contemporary Islam
Books in this series advance the study of contemporary Islam through the disciplinary perspective of social and cultural anthropology. The series benefits the reader by showcasing the richness of ethnography and mixed fieldwork methods, and allowing for deep engagement with theorised empirical case-studies.
It aims to illuminate our understanding of the similarities as well as differences of Muslim lives as they are lived in diverse social, political and religious contexts in the 21st century. The geographical scope is unlimited, and recognises the range of Muslim experiences in both majority and minority contexts across the globe. Particular topics may address any aspect of Islam as it is lived and experienced in the multifaceted contexts of human life, and as such the series provides crucial representation of quotidian Muslim voices within important scholarly debates around what Islam is, and how it might be defined and studied.
- Makes anthropological approaches to the study of Islam readily accessible to scholars in Religious Studies, Islamic Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, and the wider humanities and social sciences
- Foregrounds ethnography as an essential research method in the study of contemporary Islam
- Generates theoretical advances in the study of Islam through analysis of diverse empirical case studies
- Is unlimited in geographical scope, and diversifies the canon of scholarly literature on Muslims to take seriously the lives and experiences of those living in the MENA region as well as beyond it
