N2  - "For many Muslims there is an inseparable connection between sound and meaning, particularly when it comes to Islamic verse and scripture. In turn this provides fertile ground for a comparative study across traditions and forms. Timur Yuskaev offers a meditation on the Qur'an and human sensibilities, heard together, in American Muslim sermons. As such it foregrounds the oral, scripture, poetry and music. It is a cultural anthropology of the Qur'an, carried out in conversation with colleagues in multiple disciplines that engage humanities, including Religions in America, Qur'anic, Islamic, Memory, Communication, and Sound Studies. The author draws upon the work of Charles Long, Michail Bakhtin, Mary Douglas and many others in order explore the sermons of W.D. Mohammed, Sarah Sayeed and Aras Konjhodzic. This new exploration of aural meaning and social relevance, within Islamic teaching, will be of particular interest to those studying or researching the significance of scripture, and the Qur'an in particular"--
