Multiculturalism Muslims and Citizenship – A European Approach
MULTICULTURALISM MUSLIMS AND CITIZENSHIP – A EUROPEAN APPROACH
Multiculturalism, Muslims, and Citizenship investigate the European dimension of multiculturalism and immigration.
This book argues that the political theory discourse of multiculturalism and resulting policies in this area assume an interpretation of liberalism that has developed from the American experience, rather than the European and that this issue must be addressed.
Much of the theoretical debate until now understates the normative power of majority/state nationality and overlooks the diverse societal and political contexts that may condition multicultural debates in different countries.
Most seriously, such debate misses out on the central feature of the multicultural challenge in Western Europe today: the assertion of religious–communal, especially Muslim, identities in polities whose self-image is secular.
This book argues, therefore, that a European theory must focus on different normative and political dilemmas than a North American one and must interrogate the claims for and against secularism.
Multiculturalism, Muslims and Citizenship is truly interdisciplinary in scope (combining sociological, political science and discourse analytical themes) and thus presents a fresh and unique perspective on multiculturalism and citizenship in Western Europe today.
It offers a comparative and coherent series of national case studies by a diverse range of leading scholars in the field, which provide a theoretical framework for the volume as a whole.
This is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, researchers and policy makers interested in immigration, multiculturalism, European integration, Islamic studies and ethnicities.
