| Sumario: | This book is an ambitious study of how Islamic law traditions have been incorporated into the national legal systems throughout the Muslim world. Both puritan Islamists and Western alarmists tend to oversimplify and misrepresent the role and position of sharia.

The twelve country chapters speak to the historical evolution of Islamic, legal, and political ideas and practices. |
