Year = {2017},
Month = {June},
ISBN = {9781400887798},
Abstract = {The untold story of how the Arabic Qur'an became the English
Koran For millions of Muslims, the Qur'an is sacred only in
Arabic, the original Arabic in which it was revealed to the
Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century; to many Arab and
non-Arab believers alike, the book literally defies
translation. Yet English translations exist and are growing,
in both number and importance. Bruce Lawrence tells the
remarkable story of the ongoing struggle to render the
Qur'an's lyrical verses into English—and to make English
itself an Islamic language.},

Abstract = {Ethiopian Muslims have only had access to public space and
opportunity for religious self-definition and collective
influence since 1991. During little more than two decades,
how have they advanced subjective agency within the
political constraints of the current government, the
Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front or EPRDF?
This article addresses that question by backgrounding the
history of Islamic expansion into Ethiopia, tracing Muslim
engagement with Christian political elites over several
hundred years, till the latter part of the 21st century.
After the deposition of Haile Selasse in 1974, the DERG
assumed power and in the name of a socialist agenda,
suppressed all religions from 1975-1991. DERG socialism has
been replaced by EPRDF pluralism, yet the structural
constraints of the latter have weakened the efforts of
Ethiopian Muslims to find their rightful place in the public
square. Abetted and assisted by overseas immigrant
communities, in both Western Europe and North America,
Ethiopian Muslims continue to contest securitization and
marginalization by the state, even as they struggle with
regional, national and transnational issues that impact all
Muslim identity politics in the second decade of the 21st
century. © 2014 Hartford Seminary.},

Abstract = {<jats:p>Few modern artists so consistently embodied a fuzzy
logic of their own as did the Indian painter Maqbool Fida
Husain (1915 – 2011). His critics tried to define him as a
reckless defamer of Hindu values, but another way to define
him is as a dutiful devotee of a vision that was inclusive,
rather than exclusive, and that understood all boundaries
and identities as fluid or blurry, rather than as fixed and
immutable. Or one might say that Husain strove to project
what Ashis Nandy has called “Indian-style secularism,”
celebrating creation, humanity, and beauty in the multiple
religious forms of the subcontinent. Having lived and
painted in India all his life, he was forced into exile in
his nineties by right-wing Hindu politicians. In London, he
continued to work on a new interpretation of Indian
civilization as universally relevant, in a sequence of
paintings with themes from the Mahabharata, while, in Doha,
a royal patron commissioned him to paint a series relating
Islamic and Christian civilization. The two series are
shown, in this essay, to best exhibit Husain's view of
“all distinctions” as “political, artificial.”</jats:p>},
