Domestic Nationalism
Walking through Pious Nationalisms
The Indian Rebellion of 1857 seismically reconfigured the ways both religion and particular religions are defined, characterized, and classified by numerous actors, including scholars, political officials, and subjects. In its wake, political and religious authorities established “The Muslims” as a threat; its memorialization by Britons in the immediate aftermath was one of heightened attention to Muslim involvement, in many cases outright assump…
Elizabeth Lhost. Everyday Islamic Law and the Making of Modern South Asia
Survivals
Johannes Wolfart makes a compelling case that the nebulousness of “religious literacy” belies a complicated history not just of “religion” but of “literacy” in his recent article, “‘Religious Literacy’: Some Considerations and Reservations,” in Method & Theory in the Study of Religion . Wolfart has reservations about religious literacy, its instrumentalization, and specifically the lack of empirical evidence that would support programs that promo…
Emotions and Modernity in Colonial India
To think about modernity is, in my reading, to think about a cataclysmic shift in and, in many cases, invention of categories: race, class, gender, sexuality and, as Margrit Pernau suggests, emotion. This innovative history of emotions and modernity in colonial India helps trace new pathways for thinking through human expressions, why emotions are valuable historical and social evidence, and affect. Using an impressive—and vast—collection of larg…
Religious Hatred
Both antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks are as high as they have been since the mid-twentieth century. Anti-Muslim hate crimes are at their highest points since 9/11/01 in North America; in Europe, Muslim advocacy groups document a similar spike in Islamophobic incidents, including anti-burqa laws, targeting of Muslims by police, and so-called commonplace incidents of harassment; in Asia, we see the oppression and ethnic cleansing of ethnic Mus…
Job Ads Don’t Add Up
Job advertisements for Islamic studies faculty positions provide material and significant insight into the construction and reification of a normative Islam. These ads serve to further entrench inaccurate notions of “authentic” Islam. Quantitative and qualitative data demonstrate how religious studies colleagues craft job calls that replicate stereotypes about Islam and Muslims, how the study of Islam functions, and an Arab and Arabic-centric emp…
Making Moderate Islam
This is a multilayered book about the construction of a mosque, a community center, a sacred space, and a community; religion and patterns of religiosity in America; the elusive and yet omnipresent “moderate” Islam; race, ethnicity, and religion. Rosemary R. Corbett’s careful text traces the Muslim community beyond lower Manhattan for its attempt to build a community center after September 11, 2001 in close proximity to Ground Zero, the former lo…
