The Asian Gang Revisited: Changing Muslim Masculinities

Autor Claire E. Alexander
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2024
In her groundbreaking ethnography The Asian Gang, published in 2000, Claire Alexander explored the creation of Asian Muslim masculinities in South London. Set against the backdrop of the moral panic over 'Asian gangs' in the mid-1990s, and based on 5 years of ethnographic fieldwork, the book explored the idea of 'the gang', friendships, and the role of 'brothers' in the formation, performance and negotiation of ethnic, religious and gendered identities.The Asian Gang Revisited picks up the story of 'the Asian gang' over the subsequent two decades, examining the changing identities of the original participants as they transition into adulthood in the context of increased public and political concerns over Muslim masculinities, spanning the War on Terror, 'grooming gangs' and increased Islamophobia. Building on her ongoing relationships with the men over 25 years, the book explores education, employment, friendship, marriage and fatherhood, and religious identity, and examines both the changes and the continuities that have shaped this group. It traces the lives of its participants from their teenage years through to their early-mid 40s. A unique longitudinal study of this small, diverse but still close cohort of men, the book offers an intimate, rich and textured account of what it means to be a Muslim man in contemporary Britain.

Recenzii

Like her original text published in 2000, Alexander's approach and sensitivity toward the endeavour of research permeates this book. With rich and nuanced analysis, the reader is asked to engage with a framing of the key issues that continue to have impact on racialized groups.
This book makes an important scholarly contribution to the growing literature on British Muslim Studies. It is one of the few books to use ethnography to offer great insights into the political events surrounding the Muslim Question. And it is the only book which builds on a longitudinal study of British Muslims.
