Praise for Muslim Devotional Art in India:
‘This highly original and indeed path-breaking study of Muslim devotional art in India is full of visual beauty and intellectual surprises. It is destined to become the most important precedent and source for future studies on the important and hitherto-neglected subject of Islamic visual culture in South Asia.’—Dr Faisal Devji, University of Oxford
Praise for Muslim Devotional Art in India:
‘In this welcome volume, Yousuf Saeed surveys significant examples of the colourful lithographs and other images that form a part of the devotional experience of many Indian Muslims. The work is historical, with attention to the importance of technological innovations in photography, print and transportation. It also takes into account central themes in cultural and political history, including the impact of Partition, and devotional and reformist currents that alternately encouraged and disapproved of many of these images. This is a vivid account on a subject that will be of wide interest to lay and specialist readers alike.’—Prof. Barbara D. Metcalf, University of California–Davis
