About the book

Bosnian Hajj Literature explores changing attitudes to the holy through a study of five centuries of Bosnian Hajj literature. The first critical and theoretically grounded book-length study of Hajj literature and Hajj practices of Bosnian Muslims, it redefines the ways pilgrimage can be understood and offers new methods for investigating the meaning and importance of Hajj for generations of premodern and modern believers.
