Summary:This volume provides intimate anthropological accounts of Muslim men's everyday lives in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and diasporic communities in the West.

By focusing on the ways in which Muslim men care for those they love, this volume challenges stereotypes and showcases Muslim men's humanity
