East Lansing, Michigan, October 30-November, 1992
Description:... Included in this volume are the proceedings from the Twenty-First Annual Conference of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists (AMSS) held in East Landing, Michigan from October 30 - November 1, 1992. The conference's theme focused mainly on issues in contemporary Islamic thought. The AMSS is a non-profit, professional academic organization founded towards the end of the fourteenth hijri century (1391/1972) for the sole purpose of providing a forum for both Muslim and non-Muslim social scientists interested in pursuing Islamically-oriented research and scholarship in the social sciences. In order to help scholars with their activities, AMSS organizes specialized seminars and an annual conference to help its members keep updated on developments and people who are relevant to their particular fields, and to identify other social scientists who share similar interests. Through its seminars, conferences, and annual convention, AMSS encourages the discovery of Islam and its relevance to their disciplines.
