Observing Islam in Spain
The book’s title explicitly builds on Clifford Geertz’s Islam Observed (1968). Geertz’s book, originally a Terry lecture at Yale, broke new ground at the time for an audience, primarily of historians of religion, in arguing for understanding religious belief and practice as necessarily anchored in specific places and times. Observing Islam in Spain likewise anchors recent studies of Islam and Muslims in the context of the politics and social dyna…
Islam and the Languages of Modernity
The secular bias of modernization theory has had a significant role in deflecting attention away from the role of religious practices and values in contemporary societies, particularly in the Muslim majority world. In the early 1960s, a leading public intellectual saw the Muslim world as facing an unpalatable choice: either a "neo-Islamic totalitarianism" intent on "resurrecting the past," or a "reformist Islam" that would open "the sluice gates …

Pilgrimage, travel for learning, visits to shrines, exile, and labour migration shape the religious imagination and in turn are shaped by it. Some travel, such as pilgrimage, explicitly intended for religious purposes, has equally important economic and political consequences. Other travel, not primarily motivated by religious concerns and thus neglected by many scholars, nonetheless profoundly influences religious symbols, metaphors, practices a…

The Coming Transformation of the Muslim-Majority World
Both mass education and mass communications, particularly the proliferation of media and the means by which people communicate, have had a profound effect on how people think about religion and politics in Muslim-majority countries. They have led toan increased awareness of other Muslim and non-Muslim traditions. Without fanfare, the notion that Islam should be the subject of dialogue and civil debate is gaining ground. Distinctive to the modern …
Not lost in translation
A May 2000 conference in Sefrou publicly recognised the impact of Clifford Geertz's work and professional life on doing sociology and anthropology in Morocco. Yet recognition of his work in how sociology and anthropology were taught in Morocco grew only incrementally from the late 1960s to the present. One obstacle was language. Geertz's Islam Observed (1968a) was translated into French only in 1992; a translation into Arabic is virtually unobtai…
Public Islam and the common good
The article discusses the historical and contemporary emergence of a sense of an Islamic public in a variety of Muslim majority societies and elsewhere. These manifestations of "public Islam" facilitate discussions concerning how to define the common good, equitable solutions to collective problems, shifting boundaries of inclusion and exclusion, and practices that encourage the emergence of a "public" Islam. Compared to notions of public sphere …
Glossary
Since the late nineteenth Century and the onset of colonial rule in West Africa, scholars, including colonial scholar administrators, hve devoted considrable attention to the study of what has been assumed to be th main institutional form for th practice of Islam in West Africa: the Sufi orders, the mystical paths. In an almost unending stream of studies, various scholars-politica! scientists, sociologists, geographers, historians, and those in r…

Bin Laden, the Arab “Street,” and the Middle East's Democracy Deficit
Bin Laden speaks in the vivid language of popular Islamic preachers, and builds on a deep and widespread resentment against the West and local ruling elites identified with it. The lack of formal outlets to express opinion on public concerns has created [a] democracy deficit in much of the Arab world, and this makes it easier for terrorists such as bin Laden, asserting that they act in the name of religion, to hijack the Arab street
The public sphere and Muslim identities
The historical and contemporary development of certain informal and formal articulations of Muslim social and political identities and forms of association in Muslim-majority and Arab societies has facilitated the emergence of a public sphere and limited the coercive power of state authority. This article suggests how a greater focus on religious ideas and forms of association can enhance the concept of the public sphere so that it better account…

From here to modernity
Islam is one of the basic 'bricks' in Ernest Gellner's political thought, along with segmentation, psychoanalysis, nationalism, Marxism and the transition to the Enlightenment. The Islamic 'brick', like the others, emerges as a 'neat, crisp model'. In Gellner's words: 'Any structure, any theory will do – not because it's true but because it makes you notice that evidence goes against it or for it.' Islam held a particular fascination for Gellner.…

Mass higher education and the religious imagination in contemporary Arab societies
This article explores the relationship between the recent growth of mass higher education in the Arab Muslim world, particularly in Oman and North Africa, religious activism, and the implications of the "objectified" religious knowledge and authority that modern education encourages. Study of the new ways of knowing and the emerging networks for communication and action produced by mass higher education and contemporary religious activism offers …
New Media in the Muslim World, Second Edition
How today's newest media are reshaping Muslim societies
The Art of Memory
The study of education can be to complex societies what the study of religion has been to societies variously characterized by anthropologists as 'simple,' 'cold' or 'elementary.' Recognizing this potential, sociologists and social anthropologists have recently indicated a renewed interest in the study of how schooling, especially higher education, implicitly defines and transmits a culturally valued cognitive style, 'a set of basic, deeply inter…

Is There an Islamic city? The Making of a Quarter in a Moroccan Town
Max Weber's brief remarks on the nature of the Muslim city constitute a poignant example of what Bernard Lewis describes as the unfortunate division of labor which has pervaded the study of Islam: the ‘founding fathers’ of sociology and their successors have framed theoretical statements which were either elaborated or refuted by scholars more directly concerned with the Muslim world
Time in a Complex Society
The primary purpose of this paper is to present the concepts of time and time-reckoning of a semi-transhumant, Arabic-speaking tribe of western Morocco, the Bni Battu.' Although Bni Battu temporal concepts correspond largely with those held by urban Moroccans, I have chosen to deal primarily with the Bni Battu so that the contrast of my analysis with anthropological accounts that have been predominantly geared to simple societies is more sharply …

From Theocracy To Monarchy
The twentieth-century Ibadi imamate of “inner” Oman (1913–1955) constituted one of the world's last theocracies. In a demise unique for the mid-twentieth century, it became assimilated into one of the world's last absolute monarchies. The 1955 shift from theocratic to dynastic rule met initially with the support, or at least the acquiescence, of most of the tribesmen and notables of the interior. This acquiescence at first appears surprising beca…

Symbolic Domination
Moroccan Islam
This book is one of the first comprehensive studies of Islam as locally understood in the Middle East. Specifically, it is concerned with the prevalent North African belief that certain men, called marabouts, have a special relation to God that enables them to serve as intermediaries and to influence the well-being of their clients and kin. Dale F. Eickelman examines the Moroccan pilgrimage center of Boujad and unpublished Moroccan and French arc…

This intensive social biography of a rural Moroccan judge discusses Islamic education, the concept of knowledge it embodies, and its communication from the early years of colonial rule in twentieth-century Morocco to the present. The work sensitively combines the outlooks and perceptions of the author and those of the shrewd and reflective `Abd ar-Rahman, supplementing our knowledge of resurgent militant Islamic movements by describing other popu…
