Benchmarking Muslim Well-Being in Europe: Reducing Disparities and Polarizations de Pamela Irving Jackson

Benchmarking Muslim Well-Being in Europe: Reducing Disparities and Polarizations

Autor Pamela Irving Jackson, Peter Doerschler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 iul 2012
Examining an urgent topic for many nations around the world, this book aims to reverse the commonly held belief that recent Muslim immigrants to Europe have failed to integrate satisfactorily into European culture. The authors look at Muslim communities in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom—countries with a range of differing strategies for coordinating ethnic and state identities. Using the European Parliament’s benchmarking guidelines, surveys, and other data, they find several locations where Muslims are in fact more integrated than popularly assumed. Additionally, they show that many Muslim communities, despite a desire for fuller integration, find their opportunities blocked.

Recenzii

“The key contribution of this book is that the authors are able to quantify the degree of trust expressed by Muslims in specific public institutions, which is then compared to how non-Muslim countrymen rate the same institutions. The findings reveal that Muslims are more socially conservative than their non-Muslim countrymen but, against the prevailing consensus, Muslims appear to be equally, if not more, supportive of the political and juridical process, as well as being equally strong supporters of equality and capitalist goals. These findings undercut much of the anecdotal evidence concerning attitudes of Muslim immigrants, demonstrating that Muslims are invested in democratic governance, the secular state, and the capitalist enterprise. Moreover, these results are all the more surprising given that alongside them, Muslims across all four nations generally report feeling discriminated against and more susceptible to crime than non-Muslim citizens.”

“Benchmarking Muslim well-being in Europe offers hard statistical evidence showing that xenophobes who accuse European Muslims of refusing to integrate are blaming the victims. This authoritative study demonstrates convincingly that Muslims do want to join mainstream society but are often rejected by their non-Muslim fellow citizens. Every political leader and journalist in Europe should read this book.”

“It is a landmark publication in my eyes and very welcome analysis.”
