From Rumi poetry and Sufi dancing or whirling, to expressions of Africanicity and
the forging of transnational bonds to remote locations in Senegal, Sri Lanka, and
Turkey, Varieties of American Sufism immerses the reader in diverse expressions of
contemporary Sufi religiosity in the United States. It spans more than a century of
political, cultural, and embodied relationships with Islam and Muslims. American encounters
with mystical Islam were initiated by a romantic quest for Oriental wisdom, flourished
in the embrace of Eastern teachings during the countercultural era of New Age religion,
were concretized due to late twentieth-century possibilities of travel and immigration
to and from Muslim societies, and are now diffused through an explosion of cyber religion
in an age of globalization. This collection of in-depth, participant-observation-based
studies challenges expectations of uniformity and continuity while provoking stimulating
reflection on a range of issues relevant to contemporary Islamic Studies, American
religions, multireligious belonging, and new religious movements
