The discovery of raw data, the manufacture of theoretical or interpretive frameworks that make sense of such data, and subsequent scholarly conventions responsible for its dissemination are always mediated by particular social, ideological, and political contexts. This book documents these contexts in the creation of the discipline known as Islamic Studies and demonstrates how they have been instrumental in shaping how we think about Islam in both academy and, especially post 9/11, in the media. 410 0$aReligion in culture. 606 $aIslam$xStudy and teaching 606 $aIslam$xResearch 615 0$aIslam$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aIslam$xResearch. 676 $a297.071 700 $aHughes$b Aaron W.$f1968-$01614327 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817500403321 996 $aSituating Islam$94073034 997 $aUNINA
