Reviews

"Delving into the vibrant realm of food, arts, games, music, comedy, film, television, graffiti, and more, this handbook unravels the rich tapestry of Muslim expressions through popular culture. The collection of essays challenges the idea of a monolithic Muslim tradition. Through its multidisciplinary approach, the book not only deepens our understanding of Muslim practices, but also pushes the boundaries of popular culture and religion. Accessible, engaging, and enlightening, this book offers invaluable insights into cultural production and consumption." --Nacim Pak-Shiraz, Director of Research, Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Edinburgh, UK

"This book has shifted the goals of cultural studies from their evolutionary statis to a revolutionary fervor in which popular culture is interrogated not only in diverse Muslim cultures, but also in many forms and meanings. It truly puts the studies of Muslim popular culture on a new terrain in its varied approaches. It is a welcome, and certainly fresh, addition to the field." --Abdalla Uba Adamu, Professor of Media and Cultural Communication, University Kano, Nigeria
