Muslim Communities and Cultures of the Himalayas

This book chronicles individual perspectives and specific iterations of Muslim community, practice, and experience in the Himalayan region to bring into scholarly conversation the presence of varying Muslim cultures in the Himalaya.

The Himalaya provide a site of both geographic and cultural crossroads, where Muslim community is simultaneously constituted at multiple social levels, and to that end the essays in this book document a wide range of local, national, and global interests while maintaining a focus on individual perspectives, moments in time, and localized experiences. It presents research that contributes to a broadly conceived notion of the Himalaya that enriches readers understandings of both the region and concepts of Muslim community and highlights the interconnections between multiple experiences of Muslim community at local levels.

Drawing attention to the cultural, social, artistic, and political diversity of the Himalaya beyond the better understood and frequently documented religio-cultural expressions of the region, this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of Anthropology, Geography, History, Religious Studies, Asian Studies, and Islamic Studies.

Jacqueline H. Fewkes is Professor of Anthropology at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University, USA. She is also the author of Trade and Contemporary Society Along the Silk Road (Routledge, 2008) and Locating Maldivian Womens Mosques in Global Discourses (2019).
