Yesterday I signed a contract with NYU Press to publish Misfits, Rebels, and Queers: An Ethnography of Muslims on the Margins in their North American Religions series. I’ve been so impressed with the Editor, series editors, and reviewers so far, and am thrilled that the book will be part of this series. I have a few chapters left to write, with a January deadline, then inshallah the book will be out next year. Starting in August I’ll be on sabbatical for the whole academic year, so I should have plenty of time to devote to this labor of love.
