For more than a millennium, Islam has been a vital part of Western
civilization. Today, however, it is sometimes assumed that Islam is
a foreign element inside the West, and even that Islam and the West
are doomed to be in perpetual conflict. The need for accurate,
reliable scholarship on this topic has never been more urgent. The
Bloomsbury Reader on Islam in the West brings together some of the
most important, up-to-date scholarly writings published on this
subject. The Reader explores not only the presence of Muslim
religious practitioners in Europe and the Americas but also the
impact of Islamic ideas and Muslims on Western politics, societies,
and cultures. It is ideal for use in the university classroom, with
an extensive introduction by Edward E. Curtis IV and a timeline of
key events in the history of Islam in the West. A brief
introduction to the author and the topic is provided at the start
of each excerpt. Part 1, on the history of Islam in the West,
probes the role of Muslims and the significance of Islam in
medieval, early modern, and modern settings such as Islamic Spain,
colonial-era Latin America, sixteenth-century France,
nineteenth-century Crimea, interwar Albania, the post-World War II
United States, and late twentieth-century Germany. Part 2 focuses
on the contemporary West, examining debates over Muslim
citizenship, the war on terrorism, anti-Muslim prejudice, and Islam
and gender, while also providing readers with a concrete sense of
how Muslims practise and live out Islamic ideals in their private
and public lives.
