In this book, Tehmina Basit examines the educational, social and
career aspirations of adolescent Muslim girls in the context of
their present experiences in contemporary Britain. She gathered
data for the study over a period of twenty months, mainly by
in-depth interviewing. The book portrays adolescence as a period of
hope and expectation, rather than a time of stress, confusion and
rebellion. The girls are optimistic about the future and, though
largely working class, have middle class aspirations which they
hope to realize through the mediums of education and careers.
Nevertheless, they also want to get married and have children.
While the girls' aspirations are partly being shaped by the views
of their parents and teachers, they are not replicating the lives
of their parents and teachers. Indeed, they are active participants
in shaping their own multiple identities and aspirations by means
of a subtle combination of negotiation and persuasion.
