Fazlur Rahman and the Recalcitrant Everyday
Fazlur Rahman (1919–88) was one of the twentieth century's most important scholars of Islam. He was eventually driven out of his native Pakistan in 1968 following a series of “controversies” and the unceremonious reception of his book Islam. This essay suggests that Rahman's ambiguous relationship with Muslim modernism, as well as the uneven character of his time in Ayub Khan's Pakistan, might be clarified by reconstructing his attitude toward wh…
Vanishing Mediators
The expulsion of Ugandan Asians in 1972 coincided with the formal and informal development of multiculturalism as state policy and as shibboleth, while their arrival in places like Canada and Britain accelerated or compelled its advance. In both contexts, Uganda's Asians as well as cognate communities from Kenya and Tanzania are often seen as one of multiculturalism's ostensible success stories, even though in Britain they have also become some o…
Waiting for Revolution
This essay takes as its point of departure the conceptual problem posed by intezar, or waiting, in revolutionary Iran. Kara suggests that this problem mirrors the suspension or deferral of sovereignty implied by the logic of historicism, and thus the wider state of belatedness faced across what was once called the “third world.” Though confronted by the problem of waiting in different ways, the author shows how thinkers from revolutionary Iran an…
Introduction
The calcification of permanent minorities during and after the colonial period continues to haunt the modern nation-state. Islamist thinkers in the twentieth century tended to accept this status, often giving up sovereignty to God and making Muslim subjects legible only in terms of their religion. By contrast, this special issue focuses on those Muslims who endeavoured to escape or refuse their minority status and in doing so claimed sovereignty …
Provincializing Mecca? (1924–1969)
This article argues that in the moments leading up to decolonization, Indian Muslims living in East Africa sought to refuse their minority status through the excessive language of universal Islam. Groups with an established presence like the Khoja and Bohra trading communities, as well as new arrivals like the Ahmadis, sought to escape the deterministic logic of demography that had increasingly come to characterize African nationalist thought. Cr…
