Culture and Power in South Asian Islam: Defying the Perpetual Exception

This book explores the meanings and markers of South Asian Islam from diverse viewpoints, including linguistic and literary perspectives from Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Sri Lanka, as well as new angles on the historiography of Muslims in South Asia. With three sections on spatial re-orderings, literary culture, and reform respectively, this book enters debates about vernacularization, cultural history, and the many ways that South Asian Islam intersects with, and shapes, the history of South Asia in a global context. This book was originally published as a special issue of South Asian History and Culture.
