Religion, Social Practice, and Contested Hegemonies

More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between public spheres and power dynamics in the Muslim world, this collection of essays delves into how these spaces both reflect and obscure discourses of order and contests for hegemony. Contributors analyze various time periods and locations, emphasizing the significance of modern and contemporary public spheres in shaping political and societal power in Muslim-majority countries. The work builds on existing scholarship to offer fresh insights into the complexities of public life in these contexts.
