Opis

This volume embodies an up-to-date and sensitive set of studies exploring the ongoing negotiation of European Muslim identities in Europe. The editor argues there has been hitherto a three-fold response on the part of Muslims in Europe (some of whom are now third generation Europeans): integration, isolation, and escapism. Today the latter two responses are giving way, it is argued, to an active shaping of Muslim European identities. The central issue remains: What degree of freedom and what potential for cultural and religious diversity can minorities have in an outwardly secular and plural European society?
