Taking up diverse popular and scholarly debates as well as everyday religious practices, this volume also breaks away from the dominant trend of mainstream ethnographic work, which celebrates Sufi-inspired forms of Islam as tolerant, plural, authentic and so on, pitted against a 'reformist' Islam. Urging a more nuanced examination of all forms of reformism and their reception in practice, the contributions here powerfully demonstrate the historical and geographical specificities of reform projects. In doing so, they challenge prevailing perspectives in which substantially different traditions of reform are lumped together into one reified category (often carelessly shorthanded as 'wah'habism') and branded as extremist - if not altogether demonised as terrorist. 606 $aIslam$zSouth Asia$xHistory 606 $aIslamic renewal$zSouth Asia 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 0$aIslamic renewal 676 $a297.0954/09051 702 $aOsella$b Filippo 702 $aOsella$b Caroline 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787623903321 996 $aIslamic reform in South Asia$93703131 997 $aUNINA
