Islam and the Media, Hardback Book

Islam and the Media Hardback

Edited by Anna Piela

Part of the Critical Concepts in Sociology series

Hardback

Description

This collection aims to illustrate the variety of different Islamic mediated expressions, both in Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts.

The study of the myriad of ways in which Islam is mediated in today’s world is important, because the media (both traditional, i.e print and broadcast, and ‘new’/social/online) are a battleground for the meaning and nature of Islam.

Different discourses about Islam are vying for public attention, because to be in the spotlight means to be influential.

From everyday accounts of religious experience, through reformist, conservative, and reactive narratives, it is possible to observe many claims to religious authority as well as different Islamic religious identities. With a full index, together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Islam and the Media is a crucial work of reference.

It is destined to be valued by scholars, students, and researchers as a vital resource.
