An Enchanted Modern: Gender and Public Piety in Shi'i Lebanon - Princeton Studies in Muslim Politics
Lara Deeb
Demonstrates that Islam and modernity are not merely compatible, but actually go hand-in-hand. This ethnographic portrayal of an Islamic community articulates how an alternative modernity, and specifically an enchanted modernity, may be constructed by Shi'I Muslims who consider themselves simultaneously deeply modern, cosmopolitan, and pious.
