The findings in this paper are based on 15 attendees of two mosques and one private Islamic school whose interviews brought up the topic of barriers to leadership as a form of discri…
Displacement, replacement, and fragmentation in order making

Drawing on data collected in a 42-month ethnography in southern Arizona, we examine the 'divergence' of sovereignty, in which multiple,…
