Beskrivning

Although there has emerged a huge interest in the Muslim communities in Britain since 9/11 and 7/7, few academic studies have focused on the political processes within Muslim communities and the impacts these have on civic engagement. This book examines the political biographies and religious identities of British Muslims of Pakistani descent.

Recensioner i media

"British Muslim Politics is an important study about a growing community in the United Kingdom that uses voices from the Pakistani diaspora. ... the book adds to our knowledge about Pakistani involvement in British politics and contains a solid analysis about the shifting political consciousness across the Pakistani generations." (Ryan Shaffer, Political Studies Review, Vol. 14 (1), February, 2016)
