Abstract "Islamic Ecumene addresses the ways in which Muslims across the globe participate in a broad cultural unit. In twenty-two essays, scholars examine Muslim societies comparatively, using the methods of historians, anthropologists, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists. They explore Islamic identity as a dynamic phenomenon reflected in the practices of the more than one billion people"-- Provided by publisher.
