In a world where the term Islam is ever-increasingly an inaccurate
and insensitive synonym for terrorism, it is unsurprising that many
Muslim youth in the West struggle for a viable sense of identity.
This book takes up the hotly-debated issue of Muslim youth identity
in western countries from the standpoint of popular culture. It
proposes that in the context of Islamophobia and pervasive moral
panic, young Muslims frame up their identity in relation to
external conditions that only see 'good' and 'bad' Muslims, on both
sides of the ideological fence between Islam and the West. Indeed,
by attempting to break down the 'good' versus 'bad' Muslim
dichotomy that largely derives from western media reports, as well
as political commentary, Muslim Youth in the Diaspora: Challenging
Extremism through Popular Culture will enlighten the reader. It
illuminates the way in which diasporic Muslim youth engage with,
and are affected by, the radical Islamist meta-narrative. It
examines their popular culture and online activity, their gendered
sense of self, and much more. This original book will be of
interest to students and scholars interested in the fields of
sociology, cultural studies and social anthropology. It offers a
particular focus on Islam for research in youth studies, youth
culture, political radicalisation and religious identity. It will
also be relevant to the sector of youth and social work, where
practitioners seek to build cultural bridges with a new generation.
