This edited volume offers a collection of papers that present a comparative analysis of the development of Shari'a in countries with Muslim minorities, such as America, Australia, Germany, and Italy, as well as countries with Muslim majorities, such as Malaysia, Bangladesh, Turkey, and Tunisia.

The Sociology of Shari'a provides a global analysis of these important legal transformations and analyzesthe topic from a sociological perspective. It explores examples of non-Western countries that have a Muslim minority in their populations, including South Africa, China, Singapore, and the Philippines.

In addition, the third part of the book includes case studies that explore some ground-breaking theories on the sociology of Shari'a, such as the application of Black, Chambliss, and Eisenstein's sociological perspectives.

Industry Reviews

"Richardson and Turner may claim that sociological accounts of pluralism's various forms constitute theories that help explain the shape and perhaps even the future course of such accommodations. ... an excellent point of entry for any student of contemporary Islamic law and a helpful corrective for any who think that the way Islamic law has been working out in a country with which they are familiar is the way it must develop everywhere." (Lawrence Rosen, Contemporary Islam, Vol. 10, 2016)
