Islam and Asia
Chiara Formichi explores the ways in which Islam and Asia have shaped
each other’s histories, societies, and cultures from the seventh century
to today. Challenging the assumed dominance of the Middle East in the
development of Islam, Formichi argues for Asia’s centrality in the
development of global Islam as a religious, social, and political reality.
Readers learn how and why Asia is central to the history of Islam, and
vice versa, considering the impact of Asia’s Muslims on Islam, how
Islam became an integral part of Asia, and its influence on local con
ceptions of power, the sciences, arts, and bureaucracy. Grounding her
argument in specific case studies, Formichi ultimately concludes that
the existence of Islamized interactions across Asia have allowed for
multidirectional influences on Islamic practices and interpretations
throughout the Muslim world.

New Approaches to Asian History
This dynamic new series publishes books on the milestones in Asian
history, those that have come to define particular periods or to mark
turning points in the political, cultural, and social evolution of the
region. The books in this series are intended as introductions for stu
dents to be used in the classroom. They are written by scholars whose
credentials are well established in their particular
fields
and who have,
in many cases, taught the subject across a number of years.
A list of books in the series can be found at the end of the volume.
