Reviews"It is a significant contribution to the field of Sufi studies as it documents some movements, such as the Tümata-Berlin, that are largely unknown to academic audiences ... one of its most remarkable aspects is that it provides an interesting evaluation of Murshidat's work in Western Europe today, an interesting and largely understudied area within Sufi studies." * Marta Domínguez Díaz, University of St. Gallen, "It is a significant contribution to the field of Sufi studies as it documents some movements, such as the Tümata-Berlin, that are largely unknown to academic audiences ... one of its most remarkable aspects is that it provides an interesting evaluation of Murshida's work in Western Europe today, an interesting and largely understudied area within Sufi studies." * Marta Domínguez Díaz, University of St. Gallen "Breathing Hearts is a "thoroughly researched ethnography in which the author practices what she calls a 'double apprenticeship' in which she has acquired an impressive array of skills and knowledge in both anthropology and the practices of Sufism... Selim has produced a work that felicitiously embraces socio-cultural complexity, a task that meets the challenges of social description in turbulent times. Her text, which is derived from the aforementioned dual apprenticeship and features a skillfully produced mix of narrative and analysis, introduces some important concepts... --affective pedagogy, conditions of possibility, structural limitations, embodied religious practices, learning how to learn, and living social life otherwise... I also found the embodied emphasis on "breathing" to be particularly noteworthy--something that takes the reader beyond this 'ism' or that 'ism' in the latest analytical toolkit." * Paul Stoller, West Chester University

SynopsisSufism is known as the mystical dimension of Islam. Breathing Hearts explores this definition to find out what it means to 'breathe well' along the Sufi path in the context of anti-Muslim racism. It is the first book-length ethnographic account of Sufi practices and politics in Berlin and describes how Sufi practices are mobilized in healing secular and religious suffering. It tracks the Desire Lines of multi-ethnic immigrants of color, and white German interlocutors to show how Sufi practices complicate the post secular imagination of healing in Germany., Sufism is known as the mystical dimension of Islam.
