This book argues that multiculturalism remains a relevant and vital
framework through which to understand and construct inclusive forms
of citizenship. Responding to contemporary ethnic and religious
diversity in European states and the position of religious
minorities, debates in multiculturalism have revitalized discussion
of the public role of religion, yet multiculturalism has been
increasingly challenged in both political as well as academic
circles. With a focus on Britain and through a study of the
narratives of British converts to Islam, this book engages in
debates centered around multiculturalism, particularly on the
issues of identity, recognition, and difference. Yet, it also
identifies and interrogates multiculturalism's shortcomings in
relation to specifically religious identities and belonging. In a
unique and innovative analysis, this book combines a discussion of
multiculturalism in Britain with insights from political theology.
It juxtaposes multiculturalism's concepts of ethno-religious
identity and recognition with the notions of religiosity and
hospitality to offer a new perspective on religious identity and
the implications of this for thinking with and about
multiculturalism and multicultural social and political relations.
