While Islam has become a controversial topic in the West, a growing
number of Westerners find powerful meaning in Islam. "Becoming
Muslim" is an ethnographic study based on in-depth interviews with
Swedish and American women who have converted to Islam. Proceeding
from the women's life-stories, the author explores the appeal of
Islam to some Western women and the personal meaning assigned to
the religion. While conversion is often perceived as entailing a
dramatic change in worldview, the women's experiences point to an
equally important continuity. Notably, the conversion is triggered
by particular personal ideas and quests, and within Islam the women
can further explore already salient thoughts. The work appeals to
students in the fields of anthropology, religious studies,
psychology, and women's studies, interested in identity,
conversion, and gender.
