The author describes and analyses Tatar religion-based customs and traditions, key moments of human life, as well as selected aspects of everyday life, which may be considered within the category of performances of identity. Tatar performances are deeply rooted in religion: Islam is a fundamental part of their identity and element of distinction. Following and performing the religious rules is strictly connected with the notions of ethnic identity and self-identification. Religious performances also serve them to preserve the figure of a Muslim Tatar.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a unique work documenting the life of the Tatar ethnic minority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerformances of identity of Polish Tatars – Islam – Religious rules – Religious holidays – Rites of passage – Elements of daily life – Tatar universe – History of Tatars – Religious writings of Tatars – Tatar cuisine – Healing and magic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044351312215,"sku":"9783631672808","price":43.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631672808.jpg?v=1750961346","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/performance-of-identity-of-polish-tatars-from-religious-holidays-to-everyday-rituals-9783631672808","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
