About this product

Product Information

As a thriving port city, nineteenth-century Bombay attracted migrants from across India and beyond. Nile Green's Bombay Islam traces the ties between industrialization, imperialism, and the production of religion to show how Muslim migration from Bombay in this period fueled demand for a wide range of religious suppliers, as they competed for a stake in the new market. Enabled by a colonial policy of non-intervention in religious affairs, steam travel, and vernacular printing, Bombay's Islamic productions were exported as far as South Africa and Iran. The book examines the role of ordinary people in shaping the demand that drove the market. By drawing on hagiographies, travelogues, doctrinal works, and poems in Persian, Urdu, and Arabic, Bombay Islam unravels a vernacular modernity that saw people drawn into Bombay's industrial economy of enchantment.

Reviews
"... tour de force ... a valuable contribution to the fields of South Asian, Islamic, and Indian Ocean history. Green's historiographical interventions; his ability to paint a detailed picture with broad, yet precise strokes; his methodological finesse; and his broad temporal and spatial scope combine to ensure that Bombay Islam will be read for many years to come, and by historians far and wide." H-Net, "...tour de force...a valuable contribution to the fields of South Asian, Islamic, and Indian Ocean history. Green's historiographical interventions; his ability to paint a detailed picture with broad, yet precise strokes; his methodological finesse; and his broad temporal and spatial scope combine to ensure that Bombay Islam will be read for many years to come, and by historians far and wide." -H-Net, "From the first page onwards, Green not only provides a piece of profound historic research but takes the reader on a trip from the dockyards and cotton mills to the saints' shrines and bookshops of Bombay to Hyderabad, Gujarat, Iran or South Africa. Thereby he enriches his narrative language with anecdotes, stories of myths and miracles from nineteenth-century accounts ... this book is milestone in analyzing religious networks and their activities in South Asian history!" Fabian Falter, Sehepunkte (www.sehepunkte.de), 'Bombay Islam is a highly original account of how Muslim religious activity thrived in, and emanated out of, British-era Bombay, reaching across the seas to Iran and South Africa â€¦ This book offers a new and important transregional perspective on Islam in nineteenth-century India and the Indian Ocean.' A. Azfar Moin, Religious Studies Review
