Islam and Muslims: A Personal Bibliography
"To talk about Islam or Muslims requires a de-centring or provincialization of Europe and the West. We need to find a different vocabulary to define this project outside of existing sociological categories, which requires a critical engagement with the master narrative of Western social sciences."
