This book presents the first comprehensive survey of the multiple
versions of Islam propagated across geographical, political, and
cultural boundaries during the era of modern globalization. Showing
how Islam was transformed through these globalizing transfers, it
traces the origins, expansion and increasing diversification of Global
Islam - from individual activists to organizations and then states -
over the past 150 years. Historian Nile Green surveys not only the
familiar venues of Islam in the Middle East and the West, but also
Asia and Africa, explaining the doctrines of a wide variety of
political and non-political versions of Islam across the spectrum from
Salafism to Sufism. This _Very Short Introduction_ will help readers
to recognize and compare the various organizations competing to claim
the authenticity and authority of representing the one true Islam.
