Based on in-depth interviews with Muslims who have\nbeen active within a Muslim community context, mainstream civil society and the\npolitical arena, this comparative study reveals the enormous complexities and dynamics\nof active Muslim citizenship. The author paints a picture of Muslims as ‘almost\nordinary’ citizens, who – despite experiences of stigmatisation and exclusion –\noften seek to contribute to the advancement of society and the promotion of\nsocial justice. Their civic engagement, even within a Muslim community context,\nbuilds intra- and cross-community networks, and contrary to widespread\ncontestation of Islam and its place in the West, their faith is anything but a\ncivic obstacle to their active citizenship agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis\nbook will be ofinterest to scholars and students in the fields of Sociology,\nPolitics, Islamic Studies, Sociology of Religion and Political Participation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319810324\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-31403-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 315\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44775486816396,"sku":"9783319810324","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319810324.jpg?v=1775919576","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319810324","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
