Acknowledgments
The roll call of colleagues who helped shape this manifesto extends back several decades and crosses generations as well as continents. I would be remiss not to begin with the 1980 conference on Islamic studies organized by my late friend, Richard C. Martin of Arizona State University. Rich brought together older colleagues, such as James Kritzeck (my first teacher on Islam), Jacques Waardenburg, and Muhammad Abd ar-Rauf, along with younger scholars like William Graham, Marilyn Waldman, and Fred Denny, to rethink the field of Islamic studies beyond Orientalism. Said’s book had just been published 2 years earlier (1978) and one of the several scholars invoked to chart a way beyond Orientalism was Marshall Hodgson. Fast forward 25 years and Rich Martin, along with Carl W. Ernst, organized a conference on Islam in Theory and Practice that centered on my work, and it highlighted Hodgson as the harbinger of a Muslim/Islamic/Islamicate cosmopolitan alternative to Orientalism. All the participants of that 2006 conference, later contributors to a book titled Rethinking Islamic Studies: From Orientalism to Cosmopolitanism (Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 2010), deserve recognition and thanks: Ernst and Martin at the head of the list, followed by Vincent J. Cornell, Katherine P. Ewing, A. Kevin Reinhart, Omid Safi, Jamillah Karim, Charles Kurzman, Ijlal Naqvi, David Gilmartin, Abbas Barzegar, Louis A. Ruprecht, Jr., Tony K. Stewart, Scott Kugle, and Ebrahim Moosa. In 2008 I was awarded a Carnegie Scholars of Islam grant, allowing me to travel not just to Egypt and Ethiopia but also to Indonesia and the Philippines. My experience of minority Muslim communities expanded owing to the vision and support of Patricia L. Rosenfield and Hillary S. Wiesner from Carnegie Corporation. Among the scholars I met from Southeast Asia, two—the late Alber Husin (to whom the manifesto is dedicated) and Jowel Canuday—came
