This is the first systematic study of Polish women's conversion to
Islam in English. Through interviews with Polish female converts to
Islam and ethnographic observation, we learn about their journey to
Islam in a country where Muslims constitute less than 0,5% of the
population and experience daily struggles related to maintaining
their national and religious identities sometimes considered to be
spoiled. The analysis presented in the book illuminates different
factors that shape the converts' religious lives: attempts to
establish "Polish Islam" with its unique cultural flavor; a new
hybrid language that includes Polish, English and Arabic elements;
intersectional identities as women, Muslims, Poles, and Eastern
European immigrants among those who live outside of Poland. This
study offers a fascinating window into the lives of Muslims in a
sociopolitical context that is considered to be on the margins of
the "Muslim world."
