In this episode of the New Books in Islamic Studies Podcast, Nurhaizatul Jamil discusses her new book, Faithful Transformations: Islamic Self-Help in Contemporary Singapore (University of Illinois Press, 2025). Dr. Jamil’s work is a complex and meticulous ethnography of recent trends in Islamic self-help circles based in Singapore, and it offers important new perspectives on global Islamic traditions by putting research and theory from Black, ethnic, feminist, and critical Muslim studies into conversation with the anthropology of Islam and of Southeast Asia.

This episode was produced by NYSEAN Partner, the New Books Network.
