CALL FOR BOOK REVIEWS
The Manchester Journal of Transnational Islamic Law & Practice (MJTILP) is pleased to announce the call for book reviews for its forthcoming issue. MJTILP is a peer reviewed journal recently accepted to be listed in Scopus, which is available at the www.electronicpublications.org and can also be accessed on HeinOnline.
We would like to invite reviewers to review a number of recently published books that may be of interest to the Islamic law scholars and researchers. Books will be allocated for review on a first-come-first-served basis and you would have about one month to carry out the review. If you are interested in reviewing one of these books, please email Dr Khaled Bashir (khaled.bashir@abdn.ac.uk) with the name of book you are interested in reviewing and we will arrange for a copy (paper or online format) to be sent to you.
We also invite readers to propose books that they wish to review. Books should be rooted in scholarly analysis and critique and/or empirical study of Islamic law and can be targeted at practitioners or written primarily for scholars in the field of Islamic law. Kindly send the titles to Dr Khaled Bashir.
Submission Guidelines: Manuscripts should be in Microsoft Word format and double-spaced (including quotations, excerpts, and footnotes). To facilitate our anonymous review process, submissions are to be prepared for anonymous review. Include a cover page with the author’s name, affiliation, title, and email address. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum and when used should follow OSCOLA referencing guide. Deadline for submission of review for the forthcoming Issue is June 30th, 2021.
Recommended Format: A good book review provides a quick overview of the main ideas in the text. Also helpful is an account of how the book fits into, or engages in, an on-going philosophical debate. While not required, a compare and contrast approach can be useful to demonstrate both the main ideas and unique positioning of a book. An overview for a book review is good when it is broad and concise, including all and only the main points of the text. A good book review evaluates the text and deploys an argument regarding how successful the book is in achieving its own goals. This may, but need not, involve substantive disagreement with the argumentation found in the text. Many reviews will be best when they: (i) begin with any important background information (e.g. author biography); (ii) provide a summary of the contents of the book; and (iii) end with the reviewer’s evaluations.
