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.
