Drawing on ethnographic research, Living Sharia examines the role of sharia in the sociopolitical processes of contemporary Malaysia. The book traces the contested implementation of Islamic family and criminal laws and sharia economics to provide cultural frameworks for understanding sharia among Muslims and non-Muslims. Timothy Daniels explores how the way people think about sharia is often entangled with notions about race, gender equality, nationhood, liberal pluralism, citizenship, and universal human rights. He reveals that Malaysians ideas about sharia are not isolated fromnor always opposed toliberal pluralism and secularism. Living Sharia will be of interest to scholars as well as to policy makers, consultants, and professionals working with global NGOs.

"Living Sharia is one of the most theoretically sophisticated, rigorously empirical, and ethnographically engaging works in the anthropology of Islam in years. At a moment when discourses about sharia are integral to sociopolitical dynamics in American society (5), this is a book that deserves to be read by anthropologists and everyone concernedwith the challenge of religious ethics and citizenship in our late modern world." * American Ethnologist (AE) * "Daniels has produced a comprehensive, richly observed and sensitively analysed study of lived and living sharia in a complex cultural and political context." * Religions of South Asia *
