In recent years, geographies of identities, including those of
ethnicity, religion, 'race' and gender, have formed an increasing
focus of contemporary human geography. The events of September
11th, 2001 particularly illustrated the ways in which identities
can be transformed across time and space by both global and local
events of a social, cultural, political and economic nature. Such
transformations have also demonstrated the temporal and spatial
construction of hate and fear, and of increasing incidences of
'Islamophobia' through the construction of Muslims as 'the Other'.
As the social scientific study of religion continues to be
marginalized within mainstream scholarship, there remains an
important gap in the literature. This timely book addresses this
gap by collecting a range of cutting-edge contributions from the
social, cultural, political, historical and economic
sub-disciplines of geography, together with writings from gender
studies, cultural studies and leisure studies where research has
revealed a strong spatial dimension to the construction,
representation, contestation and reworking of Muslim identities.
The contributors illustrate the ways in which such identities are
constructed, represented, negotiated and contested in everyday life
in a wide variety of international contexts, focusing upon issues
connected with diaspora, gender and belonging.
