Description

This scholarly work examines how Muslims in the United States navigate the healthcare system during serious illness and end-of-life care, reframing the medical term 'actively dying' as a theoretical lens for understanding identity formation. The book uses the dying body as its central analytical focus, revealing how hospital-based end-of-life care shapes the ways patients, families, and healthcare providers understand Islam and construct their own Muslim identities. Published by Routledge, this volume contributes to the fields of medical anthropology, health studies and religious studies, offering critical insights into the intersection of healthcare practices, spirituality, and cultural identity during life's final stages. It explores how end-of-life experiences in American hospitals become sites where religious and cultural meaning-making occurs, providing both academic rigour and deep humanistic perspective on a vital topic often overlooked in mainstream healthcare literature.
