The Social Life of Islam: Sufi Shrines in Urban Pakistan - Muslim South Asia
Jaffer, Amen (Lahore University of Management Sciences, Pakistan)
Through an ethnography of Sufi shrines in Lahore, the book examines how they serve as spaces for Islam to deeply enmesh with the social life of diverse urban groups. Connecting urban and religious studies, it explores the minutiae of social interactions in everyday life that make Sufi shrines as a key social, political and religious space.
