  • Islam beyond Borders

    The Umma in World Politics

    by James Piscatori, Amin Saikal ...
    Assuming a central place in Muslim life, the Qur'an speaks of one community of the faith, the umma. This unity of the faithful is recognised as the default aspiration of the believer, and in the modern era, intellectuals and political leaders have often vied both to define, and to lead it. Based on case studies of actors such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and ISIS, James Piscatori and Amin Saikal ... Read more

    Pilgrimage, Migration and the Religious Imagination

    Edited by Dale F. Eickelman, James Piscatori ...

  • Transnational Religion And Fading States

    by Susanne H Rudolph, James Piscatori ...

    by M. Hakan Yavuz ...
    Series Book 28 - Cambridge Middle East Studies
