  • Slumdog Millionaire Vikas Swarup
    slumdog millionaire Vikas Swarup’s spectacular debut novel opens in a jail cell in Mumbai, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after correctly answering all Vikas Swarup twelve questions on India’s biggest quiz show, Who Will Win a Billion? It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who has never read a newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But through a series of exhila- rating tales Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes in his life gave him the answer to each question. Ram takes us on an amazing review of his own history—from the day he was found as a baby in the clothes donation box of a Delhi church to his employment by a faded Bollywood star to his adven- ture with a security-crazed Australian army colonel, to his career as an overly creative tour guide at the Taj Mahal. In his warm-hearted tale lies all the comedy, tragedy, joy and pathos of modern India. Vikas Vikas Swarup is an Indian diplomat who has served in Turkey, the United Swarup States, Ethiopia, and Great Britain. This novel, his first, was originally published as Q&A; it has now been popularized as Slumdog Millionaire by Danny Boyle’s award-winning film. Swarup’s second novel is Six Suspects. Christopher Simpson’s first major role was in the BBC miniseries White Teeth, based on the novel by Zadie Smith. He has also appeared in the films Brick Lane, Shameless, All About George, and State of Play. He has made many recordings for BBC Radio.

  • Sharia in the City Negotiation and Construction of Moral Space
    SHARIA IN THE CITY NEGOTIATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF MORAL SPACE BY SHARIF ISLAM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, Chair Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille Associate Professor Junaid Rana Associate Professor Assata Zerai ABSTRACT This dissertation is primarily concerned with how sharia is practiced by Muslims from a variety of backgrounds in Chicago’s Devon Avenue and how they co-construct physical and moral spaces. More specifically, I am interested in how sharia as a divine, non- contingent moral and legal code is understood and analyzed in various contingent situations and everyday settings such as producing, distributing, marketing and consuming halal food products. Drawing on conversations with residents, employees, and customers who visit stores in Devon Avenue, as well as archival research, my aim is to demonstrate the various multifaceted understandings and implications of sharia for Muslims in the United States. I argue that the multifaceted interpretations and practices of sharia in the United States are connected with the rhythms and everyday practices of Chicago and beyond. These connections, rhythms, and practices are reflected and interpreted in the actions and comments of Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The goal here is not just to show that the religious (for instance, sharia) and the non- religious/secular (grocery stores, restaurants, farms) are intertwined but to what extent these seemingly separate and disparate domains and spaces may be concurrently called upon within the framework of Islam, sharia, and halal food.
