Book excerpt: Muslims are frequently understood within a limited frame that emphasizes ritual, legal, or theological issues only. However, Muslims participate in a far broader spectrum of activities that are both shaped by their tradition and articulate how they comprehend it. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Muslims and Popular Culture explores many of these initiatives across a variety of Muslim societies and communities within the last 100 years, and includes some of the most exciting domains exploring the subject. The international team of contributors provide in-depth analysis that chronicles Islamic cultural products in regional and transnational contexts, explores dominant and emerging theories about popularization, and offers provocations in the field of religion and popular culture. The handbook is structured in 8 parts to cover the following aspects of Islam and popular culture: - methods, theories and issues - society - place - performance - literature - visual media - art - fashion
