In this book, Anna M. Gade explores the religious and cultural foundations of Islamic environmentalisms. She blends textual and ethnographic study to offer a comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of the legal, ethical, social, and political principles underlying Muslim commitments to the earth. Muslim Environmentalisms shows how diverse Muslim communities and schools of thought have addressed ecological questions for the sake of this world and the world to come. Gade draws on a rich spectrum of materials - scripture, jurisprudence, science, art, and social and political engagement - as well as fieldwork in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The book brings together case studies in disaster management, educational programs, international development, conservation projects, religious ritual and performance, and Islamic law to rethink key theories. Gade shows that the Islamic tradition leads us to see the environment as an ethical idea, moving beyond the framework of crisis. Muslim Environmentalisms models novel approaches to the study of religion and environment from a humanistic perspective, reinterpreting issues at the intersection of numerous academic disciplines to propose a postcolonial and global understanding of environment. 650 0 $a Ecology $x Islam. $x Islam. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $x Islam. $x Islam. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013933.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103014439.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=357413ECE5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
