{"product_id":"muslim-prayer-in-american-public-rose-aslan-9780190079222","title":"Muslim Prayer in American Public Life","description":"Muslims are required by their faith to perform prayers five times a day, preceded by a cleansing ritual and followed by physical prostrations facing Mecca. In a society not always understanding or accepting of these practices, how do Muslims navigate this ritualistic obligation? In this book, Rose Aslan seeks to answer this question and explores the complexities of maintaining devout Islamic rituals in post-9\/11 America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on an original survey of 350 Muslims as well as examining literature, poetry, film, TV shows, and social media posts, \u003cem\u003eMuslim Prayer in American Public Life\u003c\/em\u003e provides an in-depth examination of the lived experiences of Muslim prayer practices in the United States today. It explores the various ways Muslims seek to navigate their ritual obligations within a predominantly secular society and the diverse challenges they confront regarding prayer in public settings such as schools, workplaces, media representations, religious debates, and protest movements. Aslan shows how Muslims employ creative adaptations to prayer in secular spaces that are not designed to accommodate religious needs. Despite facing discrimination, they assert their identity and claim belonging in the United States through embodied spiritual acts.\u003cem\u003e Muslim Prayer in American Public Life\u003c\/em\u003e shows how Muslims strive to maintain their faith within an ever-evolving American national context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose Aslan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190079223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190079222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Rose Aslan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46024940749055,"sku":"9780190079222","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30eccdd6-d891-4ccd-8aae-2e21d26c4762.jpg?v=1723129586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/muslim-prayer-in-american-public-rose-aslan-9780190079222","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
