Muslim Diaspora identifies those aspects of migratory experience
that shatter or reinforce a group s attachment to its homeland and
affect its readiness to adapt to a new country.
The contributors to this collection examine many dimensions of
life in the Diaspora and demonstrate that identity is always
constructed in relation to others. They show how religious identity
in diaspora is mediated by many other factors such as:
- Gender
- Class
- Ethnic origin
- National status
A central aim is to understand Diaspora as an agent of social
and cultural change, particularly in its transformative impact on
women. Throughout, the book advances a more nuanced understanding
of the notions of ethnicity, difference and rights. It makes an
important contribution to understanding the complex processes of
formation and adoption of transnational identities and the
challenging contradictions of a world that is being rapidly
globalized in economic and political terms, and yet is increasingly
localized and differentiated, ethically and culturally.
Muslim Diaspora includes contributions from outstanding scholars
and is an invaluable text for students in sociology, anthropology,
geography, cultural studies, Islamic studies, women s studies as
well as the general reader.
