Reviews

<br> Not since Barbara D. Metcalf's Making Muslim Space in North America and Europe has such a bold, broad-gauged set of essays addressed the issue about what is Muslim in space occupied by Muslims and devoted to Islamic pursuits. The authors of this attractive volume range across Africa and Asia as well as the Middle East, providing insight and evoking questions that will be of interest to all engaged by the issue of sacrality from both cross-cultural and interreligious perspectives. --Bruce Lawrence, Nancy & Jeffrey Marcus Humanities Professor Emeritus and Professor of Islamic Studies, Duke University<p><br>
