  • Muslim Gravestones in Detroit a Study in Diversity
    Muslim Gravestones in Detroit A Study in Diversity By Ronald R. Stockton Printed in Markers The Journal of the Association of Gravestone Studies Volume XXXIV 2018 pp. 52-85 1 Muslim Gravestones in Detroit Ronald R. Stockton Gravestones can be used to document and explain the exceptional internal diversity of the Muslim community of southeast Michigan. In reality, this is not a single community but a mosaic of diverse communities, diverse in terms of national, cultural, and even religious sub- groupings. While Muslims agree on the five Pillars of the Faith, there is otherwise great variation.1 In that sense, the gravestones and markers in this study are not Islamic stones. They are the stones of Muslims. And Muslims do not fit a single pattern. Perhaps we need to see these sub-communities as ethnic groups, or more precisely religio-ethnic groups. Scholars have offered several definitions of ethnicity. Most refer to a common history and identity, typically linked to a national origin. They mention cultural values, a religious tradition, and a sense of boundaries as to who is in the group and who is not. Christiano et al specify “people who are presumed, by members of the group itself and by outsiders, to have a shared collective origin and history, and a common set of cultural attributes that serve to establish boundaries between the group and the larger society.” Putnam and Campbell focus on “a shared history, legacy of persecution, mass migration, and geographic concentration.” Aswad states such a group has a real or fictive common ancestry, memories of a shared historical past, and a focus on symbolic elements, among them language, religion, physical appearance, or tribal identification.
