Review of Mullahs on the Mainframe : Islam and Modernity Among the Daudi Bohras (Hardcover)

This is simply The most important recent text on the status of Bohras living today. Jonah does a great service to not just for Bohras but to the study of Shiism in all its rich varients; a much neglected area of study.

I am eager to read more of Jonahs work...he balances the facts and figures well, with a wonderful sense of emotional connection to living people and living communities; characters come alive as part of the fabric of this community.

Simply a must have for those interested in Isma'ilism.
