This edited volume aims to advance a Muslim-centered perspective on the study of Islam in Europe. To do so, it brings together a range of case studies that illustrate how European Muslims engaged with their Sacred Scripture while being part of a Christian-dominated social and political space. The research presented in this volume seeks to analyse Muslims' practices of translating, interpreting and using the Qur'an as a sacred object and, thus, pursues three main research agendas. Part I focuses on the issues of Muslim-Christian relations in Europe and studies how these relations have engendered discursive connections between Muslim- and Christian-produced texts related to the study and interpretation of the Qur'an. Part II aims to bring scholarly attention to the under-represented cases of Muslim communities in Europe. This part introduces new research on Polish-Belarusian, Daghestani, Bosnian and Kazan Tatars and examines local traditions of producing vernacular Qur'ans and commodification of Qur'anic manuscripts. The final section of the volume, Part III, contributes to filling in the gaps related to the theoretical and conceptual framing of Muslim translation activities. The history of religious thought and practice in European history is in many ways still uncharted territory. This book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the cultural history of the Qur'an and Muslim agency in interpreting, transmitting and translating the Sacred Scripture.

"Navigating Colour-Blind Societies is a comparative ethnography of racialisation, class, and gender in the lives of young Muslims coming of age in societies, where race is deemed insignificant. The book offers insights to the urban lives of young middle-class Muslims in Copenhagen and Montreal. Based on their narratives, the book examines racialisation as 1. a social process that is classed and gendered, and 2. a spatial process that is social and temporal. Denmark and Quebec have seen an increasing thrust of nationalist politics in recent years, which position their Muslim citizens as the quintessential 'Other'. The book contributes to our understanding of how Muslims are racialised, and how they navigate this process of racialisation in social and urban life. The interaction between movement and life stories provides a unique vantage point in bringing the city to life from the perspective of these young adults. The book appeals widely to academics and students in sociology, anthropology, and human geography. It also appeals to a wider audience interested in anti-racist scholarship and Muslim experiences in the Global North"--

"This book illuminates the Islamic World journal's propaganda from 1893 to 1907. It highlights the journal's utility in advancing and defending Sultan Abdul Hamid II's policies during the turbulent time of the 1890s. The book sheds light on the political views and editorial activities of the first and last Grand Sheikh of the British Isles, Sheikh Abdullah Quilliam. This book will interest academics, specialists and laymen whose interests relate to anti-nationalist Pan-Islamism, the Armenian massacres of 1894, Pan-Islamism, Abdul Hamid II's policies, British-Ottoman relations, and British Islam."--Page 4 of cover.
