Although the field of Islamic Studies tends to highlight ideological tenets, in this volume, historians, religious scholars, and social scientists--some originally from Islamic countries--seek to broaden the field with seven essays on the cross-cultural study of ritual practices. Sufism is of particular interest to them because of its contested place in Islamic tradition and its use of aesthetic forms such as music and dance. Topics include South Asian women mystics and female spiritual authority in South Asian Sufism, African Sufi women and ritual change, and visitations to the shrines of the Imams.
