520    "The thirteenth-century Muslim mystic and poet Jalal al-
       Din Rumi (1207-73) is a popular spiritual icon. His legacy
       is sustained within the mystical and religious practice of
       Sufism, particularly through renditions of his poetry, 
       music, and the meditation practice of whirling. In Canada,
       practices associated with Rumi have become ubiquitous in 
       public spaces, such as museums, art galleries, and theatre
       halls, just as they continue to inform sacred ritual 
       amongst Sufi communities. The Dervishes of the North 
       explores what practices associated with Rumi in public and
       private spaces tell us about Sufism and spirituality, such
       as sacred, cultural, and artistic expressions in the 
       Canadian context. Using Rumi and contemporary expressions 
       of poetry and whirling associated with him, the book 
       captures the lived reality of Sufism through an 
       ethnographic study of communities in Toronto, Montreal, 
       and Vancouver. Drawing from conversations with Sufi 
       leaders, whirling dervishes, and poets, Merin Shobhana 
       Xavier explores how Sufism is constructed in Canada, 
       particularly at the nexus of Islamic mysticism, Muslim 
       diaspora, spiritual commodity, popular culture, and 
       universal spirituality. Inviting readers with an interest 
       in religion and spirituality, The Dervishes of the North 
       illuminates how non-European Christian traditions, like 
       Islam and Sufism, have informed the religious and 
       spiritual terrain of Canada."--|cProvided by publisher.
