This volume investigates how Sufi orders adapt, transform, and maintain identity within the diverse socio-political landscapes of Western nations. The editors, Markus Dressler, Ron Geaves, and Gritt Klinkhammer, assemble a collection of scholarly essays that examine the intersection of globalized Islamic mysticism and local Western contexts. By analyzing specific case studies across Europe and North America, the contributors argue that Sufism in the West is not a static import but a dynamic process of negotiation between traditional practices and modern, pluralistic environments.
What You Will Find
Scholars and students of religious studies frequently cite this collection as a foundational text for understanding the contemporary evolution of Sufism in non-Muslim majority countries. The text is noted for its academic rigor and its ability to bridge the gap between sociological theory and ethnographic observation.
