Recenzii

A useful overview of issues relating to Muslims in Britain, with a particular focus on the political and media context of the last decade or more... It is highly readable, with a clear structure and concise overview of significant socio-political issues... A second strength can be found in the extensive qualitative material deployed to support more general discussions concerning familiar and high-profile political issues. The multiple voices of young Muslim participants in this study regularly shine through, highlighting the ways in which individuals form and express nuanced opinions, often on matters that are frequently simplified by mainstream discourse.--Carl Morris "Islam and Christian--Muslim Relations "
