Muslim Peoples A World Ethnographic Survey

'œThis encyclopedic survey of 197 Muslim ethnic groups throughout the world is an expansion and revision of the 1978 edition. Although the introduction to the new edition is unchanged basically from the previous work, it still gives an impressive overview of the languages, socioeconomic patterns, religious practices, and cultural values of different Muslim groups. Each entry provides standard ethnographic data--the influence of Islamic law, social customs, economic patterns--a history of the area, and a bibliography. The inclusion not only of twice as many groups but also of more information on each group makes the new edition an important addition for most college and large public libraries.'' Library JournalWeekes, Richard V. is the author of 'Muslim Peoples A World Ethnographic Survey', published 1984 under ISBN 9780313233920 and ISBN 0313233926.
