Contestations around the construction of mosques, the ban of Islamic veils and populist rhetoric about “problematic” neighbourhoods indicate Europe’s struggles with the place of its second largest religion. This book advocates for an analytical turn in the study of Islam in Europe using space as a central conceptual lens. While spatial approaches are gaining traction in the study of religion, migration, ethnicity, race, and politics, the chapters in this book argue that the critical potential of a spatialised analysis in the field of Islam in Europe remains largely unexplored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume presents a collection of nine empirical studies that offer insights into how scholars might exploit the category of space when analysing both current political issues and broader conceptual questions in the social sciences. And more specifically, how does a spatial perspective on Islam contribute to a deeper understanding of the formations of the state, ethnicity, race, secularism, gender, and colonial structures?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRethinking Islam and Space in Europe\u003c\/em\u003e is a significant new contribution to racial and ethnic studies in Europe, and will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Politics, Sociology, Social and Political Geography, Anthropology and Religious Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a 2021 special issue of \u003cem\u003eEthnic and Racial Studies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40810291363937,"sku":"9781032282527","price":152.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/cf29e63b5eecf2f259e2d81e66f89cfc.png?v=1682675006","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032282527-rethinking-islam-space-in-europe","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
