The spread of global Islam was underpinned by a variety of technological structures often created by non-Muslim societies, finding expression in genres with little or no precedent in Islamic tradition. Islam has changed during these globalizing transfers, and what we see and hear in today’s global Islam is by no means representative of the entire faith. In some ways, the story of global Islam is the story of how some of its versions have crossed borders more effectively than others.","PeriodicalId":309541,"journal":{"name":"Global Islam: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133530610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
