The Journal of Religious Minorities under Muslim Rule provides a primary venue for scholarly studies that examine religious minorities (such as Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and other minoritarian Muslim groups) under majoritarian Muslim rule. The journal covers a large temporal period, spanning from 7th century Arabia to 1922 (the end of Ottoman rule), in addition to a large geographic area from North Africa and al-Andalus in the West to Iran, some Central Asian lands, well into Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Indonesia in the East. The focus includes minority-minority, minority-majority, and minority-state relations. In addition to its broad temporal and geographic reach, this is an interdisciplinary journal that will appeal to those working in specific disciplines, including history, religious studies, literature, legal studies, and archaeology.
JRMMR welcomes original papers and review essays that focus on any temporal and geographic areas. We are particularly interested in, but not limited to, papers that,
-reinterpret the minority-majority interaction/s
-critique the Muslim vs. non-Muslim discourse/s
-problematize dichotomized perceptions on minorities
-re-examine the minority Other in and under Muslim rule
-read primary sources anew using state-of-the-art technologies
-analyze minority relations as dynamic, fluid, and ever-changing
-move beyond cliché concepts and categories that frame minorities
-bring to light both well-known and lesser-known minority traditions
-contextualize minority communities in wider socio-historical contexts
