""Where in the world did that come from?" is a question whose informality might obscure the fact that it is a smart query, a lot more useful than are most questions stated in academic language. In the history trade, it is one that we should ask more often, for it reminds us that no event or process or person can be analyzed purely as if it were an abstract entity. All human history needs at least two coordinates-time, of course, and place. A related, more pointed query concerning any belief, ideology, social custom, economic practice or technological innovation is, "How did that come to be here?" The "here" in the question can be any place: your home today or the senate of the Roman republic in classical times, or any place and time that is amenable to historical analysis"--

Approaching religious identity with an emphasis on agency and contestation, this book offers a historical perspective on the development of Muslim identities in Asia. It examines the contingent politics that influence how Muslims constitute themselves as modern subjects. Through 9 country-based case studies, the book analyses how Muslims articulate their religious identity vis-à-vis the state and society in which they live, and how their position relates to specific social and political contexts. The contributors survey how religious affiliation sparks a politics of difference in contexts where Islamic practices, beliefs and aspirations are contested, as well as where Muslims are framed as the 'Other'.

Das Buch befasst sich mit der jüdischen Geschichte und Gegenwart in Deutschland seit 1989. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine quantitativ und qualitativ geführte Studie, in der junge russischsprachige Jüdinnen und Juden sich über ihr Verhältnis zu Deutschland und Israel, sowie über familiär geprägte Erinnerungskulturen äußern und über ihre Erfahrungen als »Russen« und Juden in der deutschen Einwanderungsgesellschaft sprechen, über soziale Aufstiege und Diskriminierungen. Zur Sprache kommt ihr Verständnis vom Judentum, von mehrheitlich säkular geprägten Lebensentwürfen, aber auch von religiöser Suche, sowie alte und neue Formen jüdischer Vergemeinschaftung. Zeugen diese Schilderungen von einem Wandel jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland, so zeigt ein historisch vergleichender Blick in die besonderen Bedingtheiten der jüdischen Nachkriegsgemeinschaft in Deutschland, dass alteingesessene und neu zugewanderte Juden möglicherweise mehr miteinander teilen, als sie bislang angenommen haben.
