Editorial Reviews

Review

"An engaging and illuminating account of Islamic culture in the Middle East and in the West. . . . The word ‘ethnography’ can hardly describe the many subjects this book broaches, from a seductive account of Abedi’s passage to America from a small village near Yazd, Iran, to an illuminating discussion of crucial Islamic practices such as the Qur’an and the hajj, to inquiries into the ‘autographics’ of Islamic popular art in Iran."—Ali Behdad, International Journal of Middle East Studies


"Describes a modern culture torn apart by the conflict of resurging Islamic fundamentalism and emerging secular intellectualism. . . . Debating Muslims is an important reader for the serious student of modern Muslim society, as it explores daily life inside Iran and in exile, politics intertwined with religion, multiple voices of Islamic ideology, and media graphics and the Rushdie phenomenon."—Library Journal
