Revival from Below: The Deoband Movement and Global Islam Paperback - 2018

From the rear cover

"Revival from Below offers a convincing and powerful corrective to earlier scholarship on the Deobandi tradition. Using previously unexamined sources, Brannon Ingram brilliantly widens his analytical gaze to the complex global networks formed by Deobandi clerics and intellectuals and ultimately produces a book that affects our understanding of the trajectory of South Asian Islam from the late-19th century to the present."--Muzaffar Alam, George V. Bobrinskoy Professor of South Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago
"This richly informed study puts front and center the ethical Sufism of the Deobandi reform movement. In doing this, Ingram convincingly demonstrates the value of understanding behavior in light of participants' own interpretations and not against some presumed textual norm. Ranging widely over time and beyond India, the book notably enriches the study of modern Islamic movements."--Barbara Metcalf, editor of the anthology Islam in South Asia in Practice
"This book is an illuminating exploration of Deoband as a global phenomenon and of the contestations that have accompanied and shaped it, from India to South Africa, in its local contexts. Ingram's combination of erudition, insight, breadth, and accessibility is remarkable. Students and scholars of Sufism, of modern Islam, and of contemporary revivalist movements will find this an enormously rewarding study."--Muhammad Qasim Zaman, author of Islam in Pakistan: A History
