History as a Mirror and Places of Belonging: Some Remarks on Contested Memories and the Demands of the Past

Abstract

Taking its point of departure the existing literature on cultural memory in Muslim communities, the introductory chapter argues in favour of perspectives that underline the importance of transnational/transregional contacts at work in contemporary Muslim history cultures. Memory is in this context regarded as a border zone and the focus in the volume is on the agents and agendas moving in between.
