Omschrijving
What is it like to grow up as a South Asian British Muslim today? Identity and Upbringing in South Asian Muslim Families explores these questions within the context of the series of events which, from 9/11 to the recent upsurge of the Islamic State, have affected the perceptions and the identity of Muslims around the world.
“This book provides a compassionate narrative of young Muslims’ everyday lives. It privileges accounts of tolerance, modesty and cultural tradition over the often-mediatized stories of radicalisation and islamophobia. It is a welcome addition to understanding key topics of identity, upbringing and youth transitions in the social sciences, albeit in the specific context of Islam and British society.” (Jo Hickman Dunne, Children's Geographies, Vol. 16 (5), 2018)
