study of Islam and Muslims in Europe and North America has expanded
greatly in recent decades, becoming a passionately debated and
divided field. This collection critically assesses the development
of the field of Islamic Studies and its place in society. Featuring
contributions from anthropologists, historians and scholars of
religion, each chapter contains new empirical material and
discusses approaches to the study of Islam, past and present. The
book situates Islamic Studies within broader discussions of the
construction of identity and its political implications in Europe
and North America. Authors also address tensions between normative
and non-normative approaches to the study of Islam and Muslims and
consider how these might be reconciled.
