David Henig draws on a decade of fieldwork to examine the historical, social, and emotional labor undertaken by people to live in an unfinished past--and how doing so shapes the present. In particular, Henig questions how contemporary religious imagination, experience, and practice infuse and interact with social forms like family and neighborhood and with the legacies of past ruptures and critical events. His observations and analysis go to the heart of how societal and historical entanglements shape, fracture, and reconfigure religious convictions and conduct. Provocative and laden with eyewitness detail, Remaking Muslim Lives offers a rare sustained look at what it means to be Muslim and live a Muslim life in contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 15, 2020) Subject Muslims -- Bosnia and Herzegovina -- Social conditions Islam -- Bosnia and Herzegovina -- History SOCIAL SCIENCE / General Ethnic relations Islam Muslims -- Social conditions Social conditions SUBJECT Bosnia and Herzegovina -- Religious life and customs Bosnia and Herzegovina -- Ethnic relations Bosnia and Herzegovina -- Social conditions Subject Bosnia and Herzegovina Genre/Form History Form Electronic book LC no. 2020008793 ISBN 025205217X 9780252052170
