Summary
The Isma'ili Muslims, a major sect of Shi'i Islam, form a community intriguing in its deterritorialized social organization. Informed by the richness of Isma'ili history, theories of transnationalism and globalization, and firsthand ethnographic fieldwork in the Himalayan regions of Tajikistan and Pakistan as well as in Europe, Steinberg investigates Isma'ili Muslims and the development of their remarkable and expansive twenty-first-century global structures.
