"This is an excellent collection of essays on youth in a number of
Muslim majority (and minority) societies in the context of
globalization and modernity. A particular strength of this volume
is its ability to highlight the multiple and contested roles of
religion and personal faith in the fashioning of contemporary
youthful Muslim identities. Such insights often challenge secular
Western master narratives of modernity and suggest credible
reconceptualizations of what it means to be young and modern in a
broad swath of the world today."
-- Asma Afsaruddin, Professor of Islamic Studies, Indiana
University
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of interest in
youth issues and Muslim youth in particular. Young Muslims have
been thrust into the global spotlight in relation to questions
about security and extremism, work and migration, and rights and
citizenship. This book interrogates the cultures and politics of
Muslim youth in the global South and North to understand their
trajectories, conditions, and choices. Drawing on wide-ranging
research from Indonesia to Iran and Germany to the U.S., it shows
that while the majority of young Muslims share many common social,
political, and economic challenges, they exhibit remarkably diverse
responses to them. Far from being "exceptional," young Muslims
often have as much in common with their non-Muslim global
generational counterparts as they share among themselves. As they
migrate, forge networks, innovate in the arts, master the tools of
new media, and assert themselves in the public sphere, Muslim youth
have emerged as important cultural and political actors on a world
stage.
