Reviews
An excellent collection of articles that highlight the new and unexpected emergent relationships between 'Europe' and 'Islam' as concepts, discourses, practices, and politics. -- Seteney Shami, Program on the Middle East and North Africa, Social Science Research Council
Historically, Europe formed its identity by its hostility to Islam, yet today millions of Europeans are also Muslims. This transformation challenges us to rethink what it means to be European. The essays collected here are an important contribution to this task. -- Timothy Mitchell, Kevorkian Center for Middle East Studies, New York University
. . . an important contribution to an emerging growing literature. * American Journal of Islamic Social Studies *
...a well-argued set of essays which reviews the place of Islam in Europe and America... * Journal Of Multilingual & Multicultural Development *
This book succeeds in "crossing the border" that separates Western Europe and the Muslim world. It reminds us that these two parts of the world do not just face each other; they also share in an important way the social life and political processes of each other's type of society. -- Alain Touraine, Ecole des Hautes, Etudes de Sciences Sociales
