Global migrations flows in the 20th century have seen the emergence
of Muslim diaspora and minority communities in Europe, North
America and other parts of the world. While there is a growing body
of research on Muslim minorities in various regional contexts, the
particular experiences of Shi'a Muslim minorities across the globe
has only received scant attention. This book offers new comparative
perspectives of Shi'a minorities outside of the so-called 'Muslim
heartland' (the Middle East, North Africa, Central and South Asia).
It includes contributions on Shi'a minority communities in Europe,
North and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia that
emerged out of migration from the Middle East and South Asia in the
20th and 21st centuries in particular. As a 'minority within a
minority', Shi'a Muslims face the double challenge of maintaining
as Islamic as well as a particular Shi'a identity in terms of
communal activities and practices, public perception and
recognition.
