Varieties of Muslim Experience: Encounters with Arab Political and Cultural Life

Meer over het boek

The exploration of Arab Muslim life reveals the significance of interpersonal relationships in understanding diverse phenomena, from the aversion to portraiture to the complexities of fundamentalism and the protection of the Prophet's image. Lawrence Rosen connects these elements to broader social, political, and cultural contexts, providing insights into actions like suicide bombing and Quranic interpretation. With eloquence and depth, this work appeals to anthropologists, Islamicists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Arab world.
