Beschreibung:
Brannon D. Ingram is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Northwestern University, USA. He specializes in the study of Islam in modern South Asia and South Africa, focusing particularly on Sufism and traditionally educated Muslim scholars (ulama). Brannon¿s publications can be found in journals such as Modern Asian Studies and The Muslim World.
In South Asia, as elsewhere, the category of 'the public' has come under increased scholarly and popular scrutiny in recent years. To better understand this current conjuncture, this volume explores a fuller understanding of the specifically South Asian history of the term.
