Summary note

"This provocative, ground-breaking book analyses Islam as a form of 'travelling theory' in the context of such contemporary global transformations. Peter Mandaville examines how 'globalisation' is manifested as lived experience through a discussion of debates over the meaning of Muslim identity, political community and the emergence of something like a 'critical Islam'. He argues that translocal forces are leading to the emergence of a wider Muslim public sphere. Furthermore, the critical discourses enabled by this translocal space amount to a reconceptualisation and reimagining of the umma." "This edition includes a new preface placing the book in a post-September 11 context. It will be invaluable for researchers in international relations, Islamic studies, cultural studies, sociology, religion and politics."--BOOK JACKET.
