Recenzii

"New Horizons of Muslim Diaspora in North America and Europe is a timely and wide-ranging volume that provides significant new insights into a topic that continues to increase in relevance and importance. The 16 contributions from scholars from a range of backgrounds explore an impressive array of aspects of Muslim diasporic communities, from religion to gender and from economics to cuisine, to help explain the contemporary experience. They record the remarkable diversity of the communities and their contexts while at the same time noting common challenges such as discrimination and debates over identity. As a whole, the book makes a crucial and informed contribution to a subject and a debate that more often than not elicit more heat than light." – Michael Willis, University of Oxford, UK

"Professor Moha Ennaji has edited an important, well-researched, and inspiring book. It should be read by scholars, journalists, and politicians alike. It says important things about our common future, in America and Europe." – Fouad Laroui, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

"This volume, edited by Moha Ennaji, one of Morocco's most prolific and perceptive public intellectuals, provides a much-needed survey of a critical global issue – the complexities of the Muslim diasporic experience in North America and Europe. With contributions from recognized authorities on this question, the book displays both historical depth and a sensitivity to contemporary culturaland social matters, including those relating to gender; it will add significantly to our knowledge and understanding of both the immigrant experience and responses in the host countries." – Kevin Dwyer, Columbia University, USA

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The authors in this book criticize the essentialist approach to the concept of culture which reduces all diasporic Muslims to one category and ignores other important factors that shape the attitudes and behaviors of Muslims in the West, particularly their socio-economic status, gender, age, education, social class, and attitude toward religion and the Western lifestyle. The majority of Muslims in North America and Europe are reluctant to be reduced to 'Muslim,' although some of them feel obliged to accept the label. In this volume, the various chapters reveal that diasporic Muslims are heterogeneous, given their diverse cultures and ethnicities; they are actually divided, not united, and have different views and interpretations of Islam and various attitudes and representations of Western realities. Due to their marginalization and often low social status, some Muslims turn to religion and traditional values and practices to overlook for their socio-economic exclusion from European or American society.
