Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways. The result is a book that showcases ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernisation, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the insights and methods of historians, anthropologists, literary critics, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists, Islamic Ecumene seeks to understand Islamic identity as a dynamic phenomenon that is reflected in the multivalent practices of the more than one billion people across the planet who identify as Muslims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Ethics, Moral Rectitude and Education\u003cbr\u003ePart 2: Colonial Encounters and Postcolonial Aftermaths\u003cbr\u003ePart 3: Colonialism and Slavery\u003cbr\u003ePart 4: Religion, Politics, Race and Identity\u003cbr\u003ePart 5: Walls, Architecture and the Other\u003cbr\u003ePart 6: Representing Muslims\u003cbr\u003ePart 7: Music, Art and the Nation\u003cbr\u003ePart 8: Translation, Modernisation and Culture\u003cbr\u003ePart 9: Remembering - And Forgetting - the Dead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40254944706595,"sku":"9781501772399","price":59.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/DSC_6120.jpg?v=1706761078","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/islamic-ecumene-comparing-muslim-societies","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
