Muslim peripheries: A world regional perspective

Abstract

This commentary flags three key themes related to Muslim geographies. The first is the diversity and interconnectedness of Islam across regions, and the way Muslim practice is formed through a sense of place. The second is the need to rethink the spatial categories of core and periphery across Muslim space. Lastly, the third suggests that the contextualized study of Muslim geographies should reshape geographical knowledge, especially with respect to world regional geography.
