Maritime Adaptations of the Pacific (World Anthropology)

Mouton Publishers

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality.

Contemporary history makes clear how radically important it has become for outsiders to know and understand the Islamic enterprise with much more profundity, accuracy, and sensitivity than has seemed necessary in the past. Similarly, Muslims should understand themselves in relation to the rest of the modern world, especially Christendom and the West. Historians of religion and scholars doing comparative studies can also profit from fresh perspectives on this newly dynamic community. As we all move into an increasingly interdependent world, scholarly contributions to knowledge are in order that at the same time, are contributions to mutual understanding. The merit of this book lies in its unique fusing of new scholarly precision in detail with large-scale interpretation.   The first two parts present interpretations of Islam considered as one of the monumental movements in human affairs, taking it in itself both at large and in detail. The next two parts deal with Islam in relation to other major human movements: Hindu India and Christendom and the West.   Each chapter is preceded by a personal introduction written by the author when he selected the studies published in this volume.
