This new volume showcases the latest research into Muslim political
participation both in terms of electoral politics and civil society
initiatives. Muslims play a prominent role in British political
life yet what do we actually know about the involvement of British
Muslims beyond the existence of a handful of Muslim MPs? What is
unique about political participation in Muslim communities? All the
major parties actively seek to court a 'Muslim electorate' but does
such a phenomenon exist? Despite the impact that Muslims have had
on election campaigns and their roles in various political
institutions, research on this topic remains scant. Indeed, much of
the existing work was couched within the broader areas of the
participation of ethnic minorities or the impact of race on
electoral politics. The chapters in this volume address this lacuna
by highlighting different aspects of Muslim participation in
British politics. They investigate voting patterns and election
campaigns, civil society and grassroots political movements, the
engagement of young people and the participation of Muslims in
formal political institutions. Written in an accessible style, this
book will be of interest to students and scholars of political
participation and religious studies.
