Title: Essay on islamization : changes in religious practice in Muslim societies / by Mohamed Cherkaoui; Translated from the French by Peter Hamilton
Description: Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2020. | Series: Youth in a globalizing world, 2212-9383 ; vol 10 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “This book is partially a work of circumstance. It is not the outcome of a wellorganized and complete research programme, but rather, the fruit of specific contingencies of which it bears the visible hallmark. However, the genesis of the problem of “islamization” of Muslim countries, the topics which are secretly tied thereto even though apparently disjointed, the issues discussed and answers I felt able to provide comply with one of the rules of logic in scientific research, namely the coherence of all the components evoked and how they are sequentially interlinked according to the logical order of reasons but not of matters”– Provided by publisher.
