Overcoming Orientalism

Essays in Honor of John L. Esposito

Herausgeber: Sonn, Tamara

Beschreibung

Since John Esposito published his first book nearly 40 years ago, he has been guiding readers beyond misleading and dangerous stereotypes of Muslims. The essays in this volume highlights the contributions of scholars from a variety of disciplines who, like Esposito, present Islam as a multi-faceted and dynamic tradition embraced by communities in globally interconnected but substantially diverse contexts over the centuries.
