| Zusammenfassung: | Compelling and original, this book offers a unique insight into the modern Islamic corporation, revealing how power, relationships, individual identities, gender roles, and practices - and often massive financial resources - are mobilized on behalf of Islam. Focusing on Muslims in Malaysia, Patricia Sloane-White argues that sharia principles in the region's Islamic economy produce a version of Islam that is increasingly conservative, financially and fiscally powerful, and committed to social control over Muslim and non-Muslim public and private lives. Packed with fascinating details, the book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Islamic politics and culture in modern life. Provides unprecedented access to the inner workings of major corporations run by leading Muslim business executives. Presents insights into managerial policies and experiences rarely seen in Muslim settings through behind-the-scene look at the day-to-day workplace practices of corporate personnel. Insights into religious practices in a modern corporate economy are presented in their most modern guise. Explores and presents the philanthropic and charitable giving practices that fund Islamic activities, offering a new look at 'corporate social responsibility' which allows readers to develop an understanding of how money is mobilized in corporate life for advancing the cause of Islam and Islamization. -- Provided by publisher |
