<p>“At a time that words like Sharia and Fatwa are bandied about in our public and political discourse with reckless abandon, Sharia Dynamics brings urgently needed rigor and scholarly expertise. Furthermore, the volume focuses on Southeast Asia and South Asia, two regions where the majority of the world’s Muslims live but has received far too little public and scholarly attention.” (Omid Safi, Director, Duke Islamic Studies Center, USA)</p>
<p>“By exploring the ways in which Muslims in diverse cultural contexts apply Shariah, this volume offers a new and promising path for anthropologists and scholars in all fields who are interested in understanding Islam as a lived tradition beyond but not ignoring theology.” (Daniel Martin Varisco, Coordinator for Social Science, Center for Humanities and Social Sciences, Qatar University, Qatar)</p>
