An Unforgettable Report On One Man'S Hajjthe Sacred Rite That Brings Millions Of Muslims To Mecca Every Year In 1999, The Moroccan Scholar Abdellah Hammoudi, Trained In Paris And Teaching In America, Decided To Go On The Pilgrimage To Mecca. He Wanted To Observe The Hajj As An Anthropologist But Also To Experience It As An Ordinary Pilgrim, And To Write About It For Both Muslims And Nonmuslims. Here Is His Intimate, Intense, And Detailed Account Of The Hajja Rare And Important Document By A Subtle, Learned, And Sympathetic Writer. Hammoudi Describes Not Just The Adventure, The Human Pressures, And The Social Tumulteverything From The Early Preparations To The Last Climactic Scenes In The Holy Shrines Of Medina And Meccabut Also The Intricate Politics And Amazing Complexity Of The Entire Pilgrimage Experience. He Pays Special Heed To The Effects Of Saudi Bureaucratic Control Over The Hajj, To The Ways That Faith Itself Becomes A Lucrative Source Of Commerce For The Arabian Kingdom, And To The Wahhabi Inflections Of The Basic Muslim Message. Here, Too, Is A Poignant Discussion Of The Inner Voyage That Pilgrimage Can Mean To Those Who Embark On It: The Transformed Sense Of Daily Life, Of Worship, And Of Political Engagement. Hammoudi Acknowledges That He Was Spurred To Reconsider His Own Ideas About Faith, Gesture, Community, And Nationality In Unanticipated Ways. This Is A Remarkable Work Of Literature About Both The Outer Forms And The Inner Meanings Of Islam Today.
