Abstract

"Kishwar Rizvi, drawing on the multifaceted history of the Middle East, offers a richly illustrated analysis of the role of transnational mosques in the construction of contemporary Muslim identity. As Rizvi explains, transnational mosques are structures built through the support of both government sponsorship, whether in the home country or abroad, and diverse transnational networks. By concentrating on mosques--especially those built at the turn of the twenty-first century--as the epitome of Islamic architecture, Rizvi elucidates their significance as sites for both the validation of religious praxis and the construction of national and religious ideologies"--

Abstract

"Ahmad ibn Tulun (835-84), the son of a Turkic slave in the Abbasid court of Baghdad, became the founder of the first independent state in Egypt since antiquity, and builder of Egypt's short-lived third capital of the Islamic era, al-Qata'i' and its great congregational mosque. After recounting the story of Ibn Tulun and his successors, architectural historian Tarek Swelim presents a topographic survey of al-Qata'i', a city lost since its complete destruction in 905. He then provides a detailed architectural analysis of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, which was spared the destruction and is now the oldest surviving mosque in Egypt and Africa, from the time of its completion until today. Rare archival illustrations and early photographs document the changing appearance and uses of the mosque in modern times, while extraordinary 3D computer renderings take us back in time to recreate its architectural development through its early centuries. Plans, drawings, and maps complement the history, while striking modern color photographs showcase the elegant simplicity of the building's architecture and decoration. This definitive and generously illustrated book will appeal to scholars and students of Islamic art history, as well as to anyone interested in or inspired by the beauty of early mosque architecture."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

Verplichte kost voor wie wil weten hoe het nu echt zit met de vrijheid van moslima's! Pas als een moslima afstand doet van de beperkingen die haar geloof, gemeenschap en gezin haar opleggen, en dus ook van haar hoofddoek, is zij echt geëmancipeerd, vinden westerse feministen. Maar de moderne moslima streeft juist naar emancipatie die verenigbaar is met haar religieuze en culturele achtergrond, niet naar een volledige breuk daarmee. Binnen die grenzen probeert ze zich te ontplooien en geniet ze verrassend veel vrijheid. In Gesluierde vrijheid laat Naema Tahir zien hoe moslimvrouwen proberen om oude tradities een nieuwe betekenis te geven. Het biedt een unieke inkijk in het leven van moderne moslima's en hun keuzes, vooral in persoonlijke relaties en hun expressie.
