What the paper says

This paper considers how Muslim geographies have been positioned within human geography and argues for engaging them beyond their treatment as peripheral cases. It makes three related contributions. First, it revisits geography’s genealogy by situating Islamic historiography, cosmography, and political thought within longer intellectual histories of spatial knowledge. Second, it explores concepts such as ummah , hijra , waqf , and khalifa as analytical resources for debates in urbanism, political economy, and ecology, foregrounding Muslim geographies as significant interlocutors in ongoing theoretical debates. Third, it examines how institutional exclusion and the structuring role of whiteness shape the limits of geography’s decolonial turn.
