      abstract = {Opposing a binary perspective that consolidates ethnicity,  religion, and nationalism into separate spheres, this book  demonstrates that neither nationalism nor religion can be  studied in isolation in the Middle East. Religious  interpretation, like other systems of meaning-production,  is affected by its historical and political contexts, and  the processes of interpretation and religious translation  bleed into the institutional discourses and processes of  nation-building. This book calls into question the  foundational epistemologies of the nation-state by  centering on the pivotal and intimate role Islam played in  the emergence of the nation-state, showing the  entanglements and reciprocities of nationalism and  religious thought as they played out in the late nineteenth  and early twentieth century Middle East.},
