Description

How could settlement emerge in an early modern 'world on the move'?

How did the Sufis imprint their influence on the cultural memory of their communities?

Weaving together investigations of architecture, ethnography, local history, and migration, Making Space offers bold new insights into Indian, Islamic, and comparative early modern history.

Nile Green explores the tensions between mobility and locality through the ways in which Sufi Islam responded to the cultural demands of moving and settling.

Central to this process were the shrines, rituals, and narratives of the saints.

Tracing how different Muslim communities located their sense of belonging, this book shows how Afghan, Mughal, and Hindustani Muslims constructed new homelands while remembering different places of origin.
