This ethnographic study investigates for the first time in any
significant depth the literacy practices associated with the
religion of Islam as they are shaped, lived and experienced within
a typical multilingual Muslim community in the United Kingdom. It
seeks to counterbalance prevailing views on such practices which
have often been misinformed, misrepresented and misunderstood.
Making liberal recourse to the words, views and lives of its
participants, this book describes, explores and celebrates
liturgical literacy as a major contributor to group and individual
cultural, linguistic and religious identities. In a political and
social climate often inimical to religious practices in general,
and to Islamic ones in particular, this book highlights the
centrality and significance of such literacy practices to minority
ethno-religious communities in their daily lives.
