Description and Table of Contents

Description

In recent decades, the number of Muslims in the West has increased rapidly, and interesting transformations of Islam have taken place-to some extent with repercussions in Islamic or predominantly Muslim countries in Asia and Africa. This new Major Work from Routledge helps to make sense of the burgeoning scholarship in this area.Volume II ('Socio-Economic and Legal Issues'), meanwhile, focuses on social and economic aspects such as gender, family structures, class, poverty, and health. Legal issues covered include laws on freedom of religion, minority rights, separate legislation, and debates about veils and halal slaughter.
