Reviews
"Makris gives a sensitive account of women's status in Muslim societies, their traditional and modern situations and rights, and criticizes the limited ethnocentric judgements of simplistic Western commentators, especially in the context of 'development.'" ( Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute , September 2009) "Books such as Islam in the Middle East remind us that academics can play a positive role in challenging the meanings that practitioners ascribe to the world's religions and regions. Let us hope the book not only appears on university reading lists but that it also finds a way into the briefcases of politicians in London and Washington." ( Times Higher Educational Supplement ) " Islam in the Middle East provides a comprehensive introduction to a living religious tradition that is currently at the centre of much international attention." ( Journal of Social Anthropology ), A serious and valuable contribution to the anthropology of the Middle East. As a textbook, it is both highly interesting and accessible. It is self-contained and comprehensive - essential reading for introductory students and general readers." Dale F. Eickelman, author of The Middle East and Central Asia: An Anthropological Approach"Books such as Islam in the Middle East remind us that academics can play a positive role in challenging the meanings that practitioners ascribe to the world's religions and regions.
