Demystifying the Caliphate : Historical Memory and Contemporary Contexts
This volume is the fruit of a collaborative project funded by the European Science Foundation, which included scholars from eight countries and resulted in a new comprehensive analytical framework for studying this complex phenomenon. In addition to his role in coordinating the project and shaping and editing the volume together with co-editors M. Al-Rasheed and M. Shterin, Kersten made the following research contributions to the volume:
Sole-authored chapter:
‘Khilafa as Human Viceregency: Religion and State in the Thought of Nurcholish Madjid’, pp. 165-184.
Co-authored Introduction:
‘The Caliphate: Nostalgic Memory and Contemporary Visions’, by M. Al-Rasheed, C. Kersten, and M. Shterin, pp. 1-30.
Kersten’s unique contribution to the Introduction and editorial oversight of the volume came by way of providing crucial input into the historical framing of the institution of the Caliphate and contemporary ideational manifestations in South and Southeast Asia.
