Offers vivid stories of nonconformist Muslim communities The turn
of the twenty-first century ushered in a wave of progressive
Muslims, whose modern interpretations and practices transformed the
public’s perception of who could follow the teachings of Islam.
Muslims on the Margins tells the story of their even more radical
descendants: nonconformists who have reinterpreted their religion
and created space for queer, trans, and nonbinary identities within
Islam. Katrina Daly Thompson draws extensively from conversations
and interviews conducted both in person in North America and online
in several international communities. Writing in a compelling
narrative style that centers the real experiences and diverse
perspectives of nonconformist Muslims, Thompson illustrates how
these radical Muslims are forming a community dedicated to creative
reinterpretations of their religion, critical questioning of
established norms, expansive inclusion of those who are queer in
various ways, and the creation of different religious futures.
Muslims on the Margins is a powerful account of how Muslims are
forging new traditions and setting precedents for a more inclusive
community— one that is engaged with tradition, but not beholden
to it.
