Divorcing Traditions is an ethnography of Islamic legal expertise and practices in India, a secular state in which Muslims are a significant minority and where Islamic judgments are not legally binding. Katherine Lemons argues that an analysis of divorce in accordance with Islamic strictures is critical to the understanding of Indian secularism. Lemons analyzes four marital dispute adjudication forums run by Muslim jurists or lay Muslims to show that religious law does not muddle the categories of religion and law but generates them. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research conducted in these four institutions-NGO-run women's arbitration centers (mahila panchayats); sharia courts (dar ul-qazas); a Muslim jurist's authoritative legal opinions (fatwas); and the practice of what a Muslim legal expert (mufti) calls "spiritual healing"-Divorcing Traditions shows how secularism is an ongoing project that seeks to establish and maintain an appropriate relationship between religion and politics. A secular state is always secularizing. And yet, as Lemons demonstrates, the state is not the only arbiter of the relationship between religion and law: religious legal forums help to constitute the categories of private and public, religious and secular upon which secularism relies. In the end, because Muslim legal expertise and practice are central to the Indian legal system and because Muslim divorce's contested legal status marks a crisis of the secular distinction between religion and law, Muslim divorce, argues Lemons, is a key site for understanding Indian secularism.

"Dem Staat, den Kirchen und anderen Religionsgemeinschaften ist es ein Anliegen, als je eigenständige Größen der Gesellschaft zu deren Gemeinwohl beitragen. Will der Staat seine weltanschauliche Neutralität wahren, darf er sich nicht mit einer Religionsgemeinschaft identifizieren. Diese Zurückhaltung sollte jedoch nicht mit Indifferenz verwechselt werden. Zudem werden viele gewachsene Standards des Verhältnisses zwischen dem Staat und den christlichen Kirchen immer wieder auf ihre Plausibilität hin befragt und bedürfen einer ständigen Prüfung auch und gerade mit Blick auf den staatsreligionsrechtlichen Status des Islam. Die in Band 303 der Reihe Quaestiones disputatae versammelten Beiträge widmen sich schlaglichtartig aus verschiedenen - christlich-theologischen, jüdisch-theologisch, islamisch-theologischen und staatsreligionsrechtlichen - Perspektiven diesem Beziehungsgeflecht von Staat und Religion und fragen: Wie viel Religion verträgt der Staat? Wie viel Staat verträgt die Religion? Ja vertragen sie sich?"--

During the two decades that preceded the 2011 revolutions in Egypt and Syria, animated debates took place in Cairo and Damascus on political and social goals for the future. Egyptian and Syrian intellectuals argued over the meaning of tanwir, Arabic for "enlightenment," and its significance for contemporary politics. They took up questions of human dignity, liberty, reason, tolerance, civil society, democracy, and violence. In Enlightenment on the Eve of Revolution, Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab offers a groundbreaking analysis of the tanwir debates and their import for the 2011 uprisings.Kassab locates these debates in their local context as well as in broader contemporary political and intellectual Arab history. She argues that the enlightenment they advocated was a form of political humanism that demanded the right of free and public use of reason. By calling for the restoration of human dignity and seeking a moral compass in the wake of the destruction wrought by brutal regimes, they understood tanwir as a humanist ideal. Kassab connects their debates to the Arab uprisings, arguing that their demands bear a striking resemblance to what was voiced on the streets of Egypt and Syria in 2011. Enlightenment on the Eve of Revolution is the first book to document these debates for the Anglophone audience and to analyze their importance for contemporary Egyptian and Syrian intellectual life and politics.
