The Origins of the Shi'a: Identity, Ritual, and Sacred Space in Eighth-Century K?fa - Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
Haider, Najam (Barnard College, New York)
This book explores the birth and development of Shi'i identity. Through a critical analysis of legal texts, whose provenance has only recently been confirmed, the study shows how the early Shi'a carved out independent religious and social identities through specific ritual practices and within separate sacred spaces.
