Recenzii
'Moustafa's fascinating book demonstrates that courts in Malaysia, as in many Muslim-majority polities, enable and catalyze as much as resolve ideological conflicts between proponents of Islamic religious principles and liberal rights. The author's sophisticated understanding of law's constitutive power makes the volume an important contribution to scholarship on legal mobilization, rights contestation, and popular legal consciousness. It is a brilliant achievement, and highly recommended!' Michael McCann, Gordon Hirabayashi Professor for the Advancement of Citizenship, University of Washington
'Constituting Religion offers a strikingly innovative approach to understanding the relationship between Islam and the liberal legal order. Rather than seeing them as inherently incompatible, the book shows through a case study of Malaysia that laws and legal cases generate contests that intensify ideological differences and construct a law/religion binary that polarizes popular legal consciousness. Tamir Moustafa creatively uses socio-legal theory to provide a refreshingly new perspective on a much debated issue.' Sally Engle Merry, New York University
'Tamir Moustafa has done his homework! Constituting Religion is teeming with insights for anyone interested in law, religion, and politics in Malaysia and beyond. He provides readers with a clear-eyed view of how 'rights versus religion' polemics are constructed, and why they matter. Moustafa does justice to an important and complex issue.' Zainah Anwar, co-Founder of Sisters in Islam and Musawah, The Global Movement for Justice and Equality in the Muslim Family
'The book is both slim and engaging enough to be quickly digested by policy-oriented readers as well as academics and deserves to be widely read by all those working in any form of interaction with the 'Islamic legal tradition' in Malaysia and elsewhere.' Amrita Malhi, Journal of Church and State
'Tamir Moustafa's book, Constituting Religion: Islam, Liberal Rights, and the Malaysian State, examines the complex intertwining of law, religion, and politics in Malaysia … The book is a good example of how judicial actions continue to be explained, framed, and amplified by competing groups of political actors.' Nurfadzilah Yahaya, Reading Religion
'Moustafa provides a very interesting and detailed account of lived Islam and lived liberalism in a Muslim-majority but religiously diverse society.' Muqtedar Khan, Comparative Politics
'Constituting Religion provides a remarkable analytical model for how to study and make sense of this growing global phenomenon.' Dörthe Engelcke, Journal of Law and Religion
'… [an] important book.' Spencer Dew, Religious Studies Review

Descriere
Constituting Religion examines how constitutional provisions for both Islam and liberal rights catalyze conflicts over religion in Malaysia and feed a 'rights-versus-rites' binary. This title is also available as Open Access.
