Title: The public sphere in Muslim societies
Description: Eight papers developed during a two-year workshop at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute were presented in finished form at an October 1997 international conference held there. Social scientists, historians, and area scholars argue that traditional, pre-modern Muslim society had diverse and changing varieties of public spheres, the manifestations of which have been as far-ranging as the ideas and expression of Islamic civilization itself.
