Claiming and Making Muslim Worlds

Abstract

Books carry the names of their editors and authors. This book being the culmination of Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient's research programme from 2008 to 2019, the names in this book only reflect some of the outcomes. Behind them were years of animated academic debate, intense research and multiple cooperations. Consequently, this volume is a collective effort by ZMO colleagues as well as the academic contributors to the conference from which it emerged.Beyond the academic contributors, not all of whom are represented in this volume, there was a dedicated group of people without whom this book might never have been completed. We are particularly grateful to Hannah Newbury for her careful language editing. Nele Brunner and Berenice Brüggemann were indispensable when it came to standardising the different styles of citation. We are very grateful to Dr. Sophie Wagenhofer for her support at De Gruyter. However, without Svenja Becherer's dedicated support, effective oversight and organisational talent, this book would perhaps never have seen the light of day.
