{"product_id":"making-muslim-space-in-north-barbara-daly-metcalf-9780520204041","title":"Making Muslim Space in North America and Europe: Volume 22","description":"Focusing on the private and public use of space, this volume explores the religious life of the new Muslim communities in North America and Europe. Unlike most studies of immigrant groups, these essays concentrate on cultural practices and expressions of everyday life rather than on the political issues that dominate today's headlines. The authors emphasize the cultural strength and creativity of communities that draw upon Islamic symbols and practices to define \"Muslim space\" against the background of a non-Muslim environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe range of perspectives is broad, encompassing middle-class professionals, mosque congregations, factory workers in France and the north of England, itinerant African traders, and prison inmates in New York. The truism that \"Islam is a religion of the word\" takes on concrete meaning as these disparate communities find ways to elaborate word-centered ritual and to have the visual and aural presence of sacred words in the spaces they inhabit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume includes 46 black-and-white photographs that illustrate Muslim populations in Edmonton, Philadelphia, the Green Haven Correction Facility, Manhattan, Marseilles, Berlin, and London, among other places. The focus on space directs attention to the new kinds of boundaries and consciousness that exist not only for these Muslim populations, but for people from all backgrounds in today's ever more integrated world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Daly Metcalf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520204042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520204041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Barbara Daly Metcalf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946693099775,"sku":"9780520204041","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3084b04a-a3c5-4e53-a8b9-c5d774102343.jpg?v=1681514597","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-muslim-space-in-north-barbara-daly-metcalf-9780520204041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
