Cyber Muslims
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-23369-0 (ISBN)
These granular case studies contextualize cyber Islam within broader social trends: racism and Islamophobia, gender dynamics, celebrity culture, identity politics, and the shifting terrain of contemporary religious piety and practice.
The book’s authors examine an expansive range of digital multimedia technologies as primary “texts.” These include websites, podcasts, blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube channels, online magazines and discussion forums, and religious apps. The contributors also draw on a range of methodological and theoretical models from multiple academic disciplines, including communication and media studies, anthropology, history, global studies, religious studies, and Islamic studies.
Robert Rozehnal is Professor of Religion Studies and the Founding Director of the Center for Global Islamic Studies at Lehigh University, USA. His books include Cyber Sufis: Virtual Expressions of the American Muslim Experience (2019) and Piety, Politics and Everyday Ethics in Southeast Asian Islam: Beautiful Behavior (Bloomsbury, 2019).
