A Heritage of East And West

Selected articles by the noted Bosnian-American Islamic leader, Ćamil Avdić (1914-1979). He was a graduate of three colleges on three continents: the College of Islamic Studies/Sarajevo, al-Azhar/Cairo and Rosary College/Chicago. He started to write on Islam even as a student in his native Bosnia. Later he served on editorial boards of Arabic-language journals in Egypt and on Lahore/Pakistan's periodical Islamic Literature. This book is a compilation of all of his known English-language articles collected from various periodicals. They offer a unique perspective on issues of assimilation and acculturation in the Muslim community in the West, as well as important aspects of post-Ottoman Bosnian history.
