"For more than a millennium, Islam has been a vital part of Western civilization. Today, however, it is sometimes assumed that Islam is a foreign element inside the West, and even that Islam and the West are doomed to be in perpetual conflict. The need for accurate, reliable scholarship on this topic has never been more urgent. The Bloomsbury Reader on Islam in the West brings together some of the most important, up-to-date scholarly writings published on this subject. The Reader explores not only the presence of Muslim religious practitioners in Europe and the Americas but also the impact of Islamic ideas and Muslims on Western politics, societies, and cultures. It is ideal for use in the university classroom, with an extensive introduction by Edward E. Curtis IV and a timeline of key events in the history of Islam in the West. A brief introduction to the author and the topic is provided at the start of each excerpt. Part 1, on the history of Islam in the West, probes the role of Muslims and the significance of Islam in medieval, early modern, and modern settings such as Islamic Spain, colonial-era Latin America, sixteenth-century France, nineteenth-century Crimea, interwar Albania, the post-World War II United States, and late twentieth-century Germany. Part 2 focuses on the contemporary West, examining debates over Muslim citizenship, the war on terrorism, anti-Muslim prejudice, and Islam and gender, while also providing readers with a concrete sense of how Muslims practise and live out Islamic ideals in their private and public lives"-- "For more than a millennium, Islam has been a vital part of Western civilization.

"A multidisciplinary study of Western-Muslim interactions in historical and contemporary times, this volume explores ways of enhancing productive engagement in domestic and transnational contexts. Leading scholars discuss Western-Muslim intersections in the areas of civil society, educational curriculum, government policy, legal reform, media production, political participation, public discourse, and public opinion. This book appears at a time when Western forces are withdrawing from Afghanistan and policymakers are exploring the viability of long-term approaches that go beyond securitization and militarization. Engaging the Other will appeal to readers specifically interested in policy issues relating to conflict, culture, diaspora, education, immigration, inter-faith dialogue, intercultural and international relations, Islam and the West, law, media, multiculturalism, national security, political participation, public discourse, public policy, and religion"--

"State, Religion and Muslims: Between Discrimination and Protection at the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Levels brings together the academics from different academic disciplines and offers an in-depth analysis of discrimination against Muslims in western countries affecting them in specific areas of life. The volume provides a comprehensive look at the legislative, executive and judicial dimensions of discrimination across the 12 Western countries situating discriminatory practices in their institutional framework with a multidisciplinary look. Exploring the most formidable aspects of the discrimination against Muslims - education, employment, exercise of religion, state relations with religious communities and hate crime and hate speech - the volume illustrates that the individual, structural and institutional discrimination against Muslims living in western countries has become a routine".

This book analyzes the development of Islam and Muslim communities in the West, including influences from abroad, relations with the state and society, and internal community dynamics. The project examines the emergence of Islam in the West in relation to the place of Muslim communities as part of the social fabric of Western societies. It provides an overview of the major issues and debates that have arisen over the last three to four decades surrounding the presence of new Muslim communities residing in Western liberal democracies. As such, the volume is an ideal text for courses focusing on Islam and Muslim communities in the West. Adis Duderija is Lecturer in the Study of Islam and Society in the School of Languages and Social Science, Griffith University, Australia.
