By paying attention to Muslims who are socially, culturally, doctrinally, or politically marginalized, it provides a comprehensive and all-embracing vision of the religion and its many interrelated communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book ambitiously engages Islam as a global civilizational presence. It offers a fresh rethinking of how we imagine Muslims and Islam, putting Muslim communities and discourses usually treated as ‘marginal’ back in the center. Strongly recommended for both students of Islamic studies and religious studies more widely. -- Omid Safi, author of \u003ci\u003eRadical Love: Teachings from the Islamic Mystical Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcross the Worlds of Islam \u003c\/i\u003epoints to an Islam that is full of both elasticity and contestation by foregrounding Muslims who are often seen as marginal or peripheral. It challenges how scholars have approached the field of Islamic studies and emphasizes the need for a more nuanced and ethnographic approach to the study of Islam in general and minority groups in particular. -- Liyakat Takim, author of \u003ci\u003eShi’ism Revisited: Ijtihad and Reformation in Contemporary Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIslam is more than Sunnism, Middle Eastern regions and language, and ‘orthodox’ norms. This book’s wide range of entries from scholars whose expertise spans the globe is a crucial addition to libraries, college classrooms, and public understanding—precisely because it shows just how much \u003ci\u003emore\u003c\/i\u003e Islam is than mainstream understandings allow. -- Ilyse R.
