How do we learn to be religious? To make sense of this process
should we emphasise the habitual reinforcement of bodily rituals?
Or the active role of individuals in making decisions about faith
at key moments? Or should we turn to cognitive science to explain
the universal structures on which religiosity is built? And how
does a relatively devout minority pass on religion in a generally
secular Western context? What significance does religion have for
family life in this situation? And how does a religious identity
interact with other kinds of collective identification, for example
with a nation, ethnic group or a locality? These are some of the
questions that Muslim Childhood deals with. This book is about
ordinary British Muslims' everyday religious socialisation of
children in early and middle childhood. It provides a detailed
description of how Muslim families in a secular Western context
attempt to pass on their faith to the next generation. It is rooted
in detailed qualitative research with 60 Muslim families in one
British city. The authors' own analysis of survey data suggests
that Muslims in the UK more effectively pass on their faith to the
next generation than other religious groups. This book is in part
an attempt to explain why that might be.
