Books by John L. Esposito

Adapted from "The Encyclopedia of the Modern Islamic World", this reference includes entries to provide coverage of the pre-modern world of Islam. Containing more than 300 articles, it provides a resource for gaining understanding into a belief system that seems mysterious and incomprehensible to many.

Designed as a reference for students, educators and diplomats using scholarly literature and primary sources in English (1989-1994), this book provides commentary on literature pertaining to topics such as: the role of women in Islam; Islamic economics; and Muslim migration to Europe and the USA.

There are now more Muslims in America than in Kuwait, Qatar, and Libya combined. Like all religious and ethnic minorities in America, Muslims are faced with a quandary of integration vs. assimilation. In this volume, distinguished scholars consider the issues that surround this dilemma and the responses of the Muslim community to them.
