The 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.
