Khoja-Moolji draws on oral histories, fieldwork, and memory texts to illuminate the placemaking activities through which Ismaili women reproduced bonds of spiritual kinship in North America: from cooking for congregants on feast days and looking after sick coreligionists to engaging in memory work through miracle stories and cookbooks. Theorizing a Shia Ismaili ethics of care, Khoja-Moolji argues that jamat-and religious community more generally is not a given but an ethical relation that must be maintained daily and intergenerationally through everyday acts of care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60079683338321,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/4536\/2513\/files\/9789696403319.webp?v=1787034578","url":"https:\/\/thebookhouse.pk\/products\/rebuilding-community-displaced-women-and-the-making-of-a-shia-ismaili-muslim-sociality","provider":"The Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
