Historical Atlas of the Islamic World

Providing a perspective on Islam, this work incorporates the patterns of emigration from Muslim-majority countries and the independence of the post-Soviet Muslim states of Central Asia. The maps, which employ design techniques to show shifts in borders and populations, are supplemented by short essays on a variety of themes.

The maps are accompanied by short essays on a wide range of themes, among them: all the countries and regions with Muslim majorities; institutions such as Shari'a (divine law) and fiqh (jurisprudence); philosophy; architecture; costume; the Muslim city; trade, commerce and manufacturing; the decorative arts; marriage and family life; tribal distributions; kinship, and dynastic power; mosque architecture, ritual, and devotional practices; Sufism; modernist and reformist trends; European domination of the Islamic world; Islamic political movments; and oil.
