| Summary: | This article is a review of the presence of, and studies concerning, Islam in Mexico. It is a reflection on the historical presence of Islam in the country and thus takes a descriptive and cultural-historical approach to frame the actors, issues, and dynamics that make up what we define today under the rubric of "Islam in Mexico." In that sense, I offer a review of the state of the field from the view of the social sciences, especially disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, and history that put into perspective the ways and epistemologies used to approach and construct an object of study. Finally, I point to some reflections on the changes in the practice of Islam and the challenges to study its changing presence in Mexico, especially in reference to the interplay between local and transregional/mobile dynamics. This last part is based on my reflections from fieldwork and other research from 2010 to 2020. |
