Drawing on qualitative research conducted in Brussels, Wallonia and
Flanders, Islam and Turks in Belgium examines the interdependence
between Muslim community and association. With a focus on social
groups, religious structures and circles within Turkish
populations, this book demonstrates how communal and associative
movements operate through a combination of relationships of
proximity and distance. Proximity is a way in which Muslim
organisations establish religious, social, and cultural ties with
communities. Distance, on the other hand, takes into account
social, historical, and political elements from abroad, and refers
to the relationship with the Muslim world more broadly. As this
reciprocal web of relations gives rise to Islamic mobilisations, it
leads to the emergence or persistence of different figures of
authority within associations and communities who articulate
traditional, charismatic, and bureaucratic legitimacies. This book
will be of interest to students and scholars of the sociology of
religion, migration, race, ethnicity and Islamic studies.
