| Summary |
"This is the first work available in any language to extensively document and critically discuss traditions of ʻAlid piety and their modern contestations in the region. The concept of ʻAlid piety allows for a reframing of our views on the widespread reverence of ʻAli, Fatima and their progeny that emphasizes how such sentiments and associated practices are seen as part of broad traditions shared by many Muslims, which might or might not have their origins in a specifically Shiʻa identity. In doing so, it facilitates the movement of academic discussions out from under the shadow of polemical sectarian discourses on "Shiʻism" in Southeast Asia"--Jacket |
