ajiss-1143	Lawson, Todd	The Origins of the Shi‘a: Identity, Ritual, and Sacred Space in Eighth-Century Kufa By Najam Haider (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2011. 278 pages.)	2013.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1160	35	46	This book will be of interest to scholars in a variety of fields and disciplines: Islamic studies (history, thought, institutions, and modern developments), his- tory, religion, anthropology, and sociology, to name a few that immediately come to mind. The third part is where the author ap- plies his study and analysis to bring forth a fresh version of the rise of Zaydi Islam, a fresh appreciation of the role of ritual in early Islam among various groups, and a fresh appreciation for the importance of urban geography for the understanding of islamicate communalism.	cache/ajiss-1143.pdf	txt/ajiss-1143.txt
