Drawing on original fieldwork, Carl Morris examines Muslim cultural
production in Britain, with a focus on the performance-based
entertainment industries: music, comedy, film, television and
theatre. It is a seminal study that charts the growing agency and
involvement of British Muslims in cultural production over the last
two decades. Morris sets this discussion within the context of
wider religious, social and cultural change, with important
insights concerning the sociological profile, religious lives and
public visibility of Muslims in contemporary Britain. Morris draws
on theoretical considerations concerning the mediatization of
religion and cosmopolitanization in a globally-connected world. He
argues that a new generation of media-savvy and internationalist
Muslim cultural producers in Britain are constructing counter
narratives in the public sphere and are reshaping everyday
religious lives within their own communities. This is having a
profound impact upon areas that range from Islamic authority and
religious practice, to political and public debate, and
understandings of Muslim identity and belonging.
