Shahzad Bashir Books [portable] Today

This book is a landmark achievement not only for its arguments but also for its very form. Published by the MIT Press in collaboration with Brown University Library, it is a groundbreaking, open-access, "born-digital" monograph. The digital interface allows readers to enter Islam through a diverse set of doorways, each leading to different time periods across different parts of the world, rather than following a single, linear narrative. The book is filled with rich visual material, including paintings, photographs, graffiti, and film clips.
