Few groups face as many misconceptions within their new
countries as do Muslim immigrants. This book challenges the common
misperceptions of Muslim immigrants as a homogeneous, religiously
driven group and identifies the tensions they experience within
their host countries.
A comparative, multi-ethnic study, based on over two thousand
interviews, "Diaspora by Design" examines Muslim populations that
have settled in Canada, Britain, Iran, and Palestine. Utilizing
hard socio-economic data as well as qualitative analysis, the
authors show the remarkable diversity and divisions between Muslim
immigrant populations along urban-rural, cultural, class, and
gender lines. They argue that integration is a two-way exchange
that requires a readiness on the part of the host society to remove
barriers that prevent the full social and economic participation of
immigrant populations.
Extensively researched and thoughtfully provocative, "Diaspora
by Design" is a much-needed work that provides an accurate and
dynamic depiction of the lives of Muslim immigrants away from their
homelands.
