The book presents the reader with a comprehensive discussion of the debates, challenges, and opportunities that American Muslims have faced through centuries of American history. This volume also covers the creative ways in which American Muslims have responded to the myriad serious challenges that they have faced and continue to face in constructing a religious praxis and complex identities that are grounded in both a universal tradition and the particularities of their local contexts. The book introduces the reader to some of the many facets of the lives of American Muslims that can only be understood in their interactions with Islam's entanglement in the American experiment.}, Doi = {10.1017/CCO9781139026161}, Key = {fds339277} } @book{fds352475, Author = {Safi, O}, Title = {The Politics of Knowledge in Premodern Islam Negotiating Ideology and Religious Inquiry}, Pages = {292 pages}, Publisher = {Univ of North Carolina Press}, Year = {2006}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {0807856576}, Abstract = {In a far-r Safi examines the rule of the Great Saljuqs, a Turkish-speaking people from central Asia, who, in the 11th century, established rule over the eastern half of the Islamic world that lasted for 150 years.}, Key = {fds352475} } %% Papers Published @article{fds339275, Author = {Safi, O}, Title = {Who Put Hate in my Sunday Paper?: Uncovering the Israeli-Republican-Evangelical Networks behind the "Obsession" DVD}, Pages = {21-32}, Booktitle = {Muslims and Jews in America: Commonalities, Contentions, and Complexities}, Publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan US}, Year = {2011}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9780230119048}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9780230119048_3}, Doi = {10.1057/9780230119048_3}, Key = {fds339275} } @article{fds339276, Author = {Hammer, J and Safi, O}, Title = {Introduction: American Islam, Muslim Americans, and the American experiment}, Pages = {1-14}, Booktitle = {The Cambridge Companion to American Islam}, Publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, Year = {2011}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9781107002418}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CCO9781139026161.003}, Abstract = {The conversation about where American Muslims fit into the larger fabric of American society far predates the election of Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency in 2008. To critically assess the anxiety over American Muslims as part of a historical chronology and continuum, we should start with the ratification of the United States Constitution. The date was July 30, 1788. The site was North Carolina, and the occasion was the convention to ratify the proposed U.S. Constitution. The speaker on this occasion was a certain William Lancaster, who was a staunch Anti-Federalist. Lancaster spoke of what would happen not if, but when, a few centuries down the road a Muslim would be elected to the highest office in the land, the presidency of the United States of America. But let us remember that we form a government for millions not yet in existence. I have not the art of divination. In the course of four or five hundred years, I do not know how it will work. This is most certain, that Papists may occupy that chair, and Mahometans may take it. I see nothing against it. “Mahometan” was the common designation for Muslims back then, now considered derogatory, and was derived from the also obsolete and equally offensive “Muhammadan.” In 1788 there were no Muslim Americans running for the office of the president. As far as we know, there were not even any Muslim citizens of the newly formed American republic – though there were thousands of slaves from Africa in America who came from Muslim backgrounds. As legal scholars have noted, the putative conversation about a Muslim president was a fear tactic used by Anti-Federalists to put pressure on Federalists. In other words, the conversation about where Muslims fit into the fabric of the American politic was one that was concomitant with the passage of the U.S. Constitution.}, Doi = {10.1017/CCO9781139026161.003}, Key = {fds339276} } @article{fds339278, Author = {Safi, O}, Title = {All that is between them}, Journal = {Parabola}, Volume = {31}, Number = {2}, Pages = {72-76}, Year = {2006}, Month = {December}, Key = {fds339278} } @article{fds339279, Author = {Safi, O}, Title = {Bargaining with Baraka: Persian Sufism, "mysticism," and pre-modern politics}, Journal = {Muslim World}, Volume = {90}, Number = {3-4}, Pages = {259-288}, Year = {2000}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1478-1913.2000.tb03691.x}, Doi = {10.1111/j.1478-1913.2000.tb03691.x}, Key = {fds339279} } | |
