MOTADEL, D., Islam and the European Empires. Oxford University Press, 2014. 328p. Hardback. Series: The Past & Present Book Series. A monumental, comprehensive, and lucid contribution to scholarship, providing the first comparative account of the engagement of the European empires with Islam. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, the question of how best to govern the religious affairs of Muslims became a central concern of all imperial powers. Despite the differences among regions and empires, the European encounters with Islam in imperial contexts were in many ways similar. This detailed yet clear account is a masterly survey of the entire sweep of the European empires and Islam -- a towering landmark in the subject. Wm.
