Islam in France is often regarded as a political 'issue' and much
of the scholarly and public debates about Islam in contemporary
France over the last three decades have concentrated on the
supposedly 'antagonistic' relationship between France, Islam and
its Muslims. Against such a troubled backdrop, however, this book
looks at the ways in which certain prominent French Muslim
intellectuals seek to articulate a vision of multi-faith
co-existence, which embraces a critical secularism, and which
simultaneously draw on religious and secular humanist traditions.
Intellectuals have historically played a major part in French
public life, yet relatively little is known about the work of
Abdelwahab Meddeb, Malek Chebel, Leila Babes, Dounia Bouzar and
Abdennour Bidar, whose writings and public interventions this book
examines. Secularism, Islam and public intellectuals in
contemporary France will be of particular interest to specialists,
undergraduate and post-graduate students working across the
Humanities and Social Sciences from disciplines such as Francophone
Studies, Anthropology, Religious Studies or Sociology. -- .
