For centuries, Muslim countries and Europe have engaged one another
through theological dialogues, diplomatic missions, political
rivalries, and power struggles. In the last thirty years, due in
large part to globalization and migration from Islamic countries to
the West, what was previously an engagement across national and
cultural boundaries has increasingly become an internalized
encounter within Europe itself. Questions of the Hijab in schools,
freedom of expression in the wake of the Danish Cartoon crisis, and
the role of Shari'a have come to the forefront of contemporary
European discourse.
The Oxford Handbook of European Islam is the first collection to
present a comprehensive approach to the multiple and changing ways
Islam has been studied across European countries. Parts one to
three address the state of knowledge of Islam and Muslims within a
selection of European countries, while presenting a critical view
of the most up-to-date data specific to each country. These
chapters analyze the immigration cycles and policies related to the
presence of Muslims, tackling issues such as discrimination,
post-colonial identity, adaptation, and assimilation. The thematic
chapters, in parts four and five, examine secularism,
radicalization, Shari'a, Hijab, and Islamophobia with the goal of
synthesizing different national discussion into a more comparative
theoretical framework. The Handbook attempts to balance cutting
edge assessment with the knowledge that the content itself will
eventually be superseded by events. Featuring eighteen
newly-commissioned essays by noted scholars in the field, this
volume will provide an excellent resource for students and scholars
interested in European Studies, immigration, Islamic studies, and
the sociology of religion.
