Opis

As co-radicalization threatens to entrench hostility towards Muslims in European societies, this book examines the complex landscape of contemporary European identity politics from a challenging new perspective. This book was originally published as a special issue of Politics, Religion & Ideology.

Recenzje

"(Il)Liberal Europe’s main contribution resides in unraveling the paradox of a usually apprehended liberal Europe turning illiberal in relation to how European policymakers think and address Muslims... The novelty of Doyle and Ahmad’s volume, however, resides in combining empirically informed theoretical discussions with rich empirical cases outlining Europe’s reaction to the problematization of Islam and Muslims." - Luis Manuel Hernández Aguilar, Politics, Religion and Ideology 19(3)
