"This volume delivers fascinating insights into the construction and uprooting of such binaries as local/global, orthodox/heterodox, and insider/outsider positions. It thus reveals the hybrid character of Sufism in the West. The high quality and originality of most of the articles make this a volume a must for everybody interested in Sufism in the West and highly recommended for students of Islam in the West." -- American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences
