Reviews

Going against the grain of the theological and ethical turns in the anthropology of Islam, Nandagopal R. Menon provides a unique and pathbreaking account of religious polemics. This is an outstanding contribution to the analysis of public religion in the contemporary world. * Patrick Eisenlohr, University of G¨ottingen * This is a tightly argued and confidently written book which explores in a novel and original fashion some of the central issues which have animated debates concerning contemporary Islam ... It would be hard to find any book on Kerala Islam which can compete with it in ethnographic or analytical terms. * Filippo Osella, University of Sussex *
