Suzanne Brenner (UCSD) has done some work among Islamic women in Indonesia. Abu-Lughod is quite good.

Here is something overlooked by most people;"Go to anything by the people themselves!!!" (the very best source) It gives more truth and reality and less ideology,lies and warped theories....
Being a Black Descendent of many Muslims,Moors,Etc.. i found this out after chasing the leaves in the wind for some years before getting my professorship.... (NOTE:The more Ancient the better and more pure the sources,for example The Islamic Way of life finds its roots in Egypt and Ethiopia through the sufi's and Original Black Jews from Ethiopia and even the Copts (Qupts),same people,also just for your info from one scientist to another-there are many people whom live an islamic way of life(ie:Natural),but are not muslim,so in other words this way of living pre-dates the "Religion" of Islam....)
***Hope i helped a little atleast to point you in the right direction??? Salom (Peace of mind and body unto you!) smile

Yes, Brenner's _Domestication of Desire_ looks really good, but if I understood its subject from the Amazon description in this case I'm looking for something that isn't so focused on issues of modernity and such per se. In any case, I'll definitely keep it in mind.

I guess I'm actually looking for one of two things. Either a very rich, personal ethnography a la Abu-Lughod or a fairly low-level structuralist/functionalist approach that in some way addresses what is islamic about the group. I realize that easily can bring one back to issues of the modern, but... well, hopefully you know what I mean.

Geertz, gellner, Westermarck, Rabinow, and Eickelman are all goog for Morocco. I enjoy Gellner immensely, but Saints of the Atlas is about Amazigh Maraboutic Islam, and probably very different from Islam practiced elsewhere

Saba Mahmood just came out with an excellent book called the Politics of Piety. It's all about the women's islamiuc revival movement in Egypt. Good read, and really interesting to compare with the power, agency, and resistance stuff you find in Abu-Lughod.

Also Stefania Pandolfo has a book out called Impasse of the Angels, its psycho anthro and med anthro in Morrocco

Happy Reading
