Descripción del proyecto
This project examines transnational Islamic charity as a global force. The goals of Islamic charity shifted in the long twentieth century, beyond a community-scale oriented towards rewards in the afterlife and construction of religious infrastructure for Muslims. Islamic charitable networks have invested in public works for all humans: state-of-the-art hospitals, multistorey housing complexes and schools for modern education. Transnational Islamic charity today claims 'humanity' as its constituency. As a universalist category, humanity is no longer the monopoly of Western humanitarianism. The project’s central objective is to study how Islamic charitable networks in seeking to address global needs position themselves as universalist projects, entangled with Western humanitarianism and neoliberal welfare regimes. Theorizing the unstable hierarchies of humanity embedded in transnational Islamic charitable work, it will lend new insights into its moral limits and potential – by addressing three questions:1. How do Islamic charitable networks rearticulate the category of humanity to address diverse constituencies?2. How do Islamic charities define and contribute to the public good within globalized neoliberal welfare regimes?3. How do recipients of aid demonstrate their humanity to meet shifting criteria of worthiness?Though considered security threats by states, Islamic charities are increasingly recognised by multilateral institutions as important sources of welfare. In a time of multiple crises characterized by climate upheavals, religious polarization, economic instability and social deprivation, it is vital to understand transnational Islamic charity as a force for addressing universal needs. The project develops a novel analytical approach by centering two countries in the global south outside of the ‘traditional’ heartland of the Islamic world, India and Tanzania, to study charitable networks across the Indian Ocean and beyond.
