Calfano provides an examination of the pressures faced by Muslims,
often considered political and social outsiders in western nations,
especially in the United States. Identity is a complex concept,
especially when considering the role that group attachments play in
affecting how one sees her/his role in the political environment of
their country of residence. Perhaps the greatest tension in this
regard is felt by those who are often considered outsiders in their
home country, despite significant ties to their nation. Though
citizens and second generation residents in many cases, American
Muslims face a combination of suspicion, government scrutiny, and
social segregation in the United States, despite significant
education and economic assimilation in America. The crux of the
investigation advanced here centres on how group influence,
emotions, and religious interpretation contribute to the political
orientation and behaviour of a national sample of Muslims living in
the American context. A compelling explanation as to how members of
an ostracized political group marshal the motivation to push
through suspicion to become fully engaged political actors, this
book has wide relevance and will be of interest to scholars
researching Muslims and political participation across the fields
of political science, history, sociology, and religion.
