Globalized Muslim Youth in the Asia Pacific is a sociological study of Muslim youth culture based on original ethnographic fieldwork in two global cities in the Asia Pacific: Singapore and Sydney. Urban young Muslims in Singapore and Sydney face similar everyday challenges, such as their minority status and low socio-economic position relative to the larger society. These are complicated by the broader processes of globalization that bring together the September 11 generation living in the Information Age. Comparing young Muslims living in these secular, multicultural cities across three domains of popular culture – hip-hop music, tattooing, and cultural consumption – this study illuminates the range of attitudes and strategies they adopt to reconcile popular youth culture with piety.

Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce my book FAITHFULLY URBAN: PIOUS MUSLIMS IN A GERMAN CITY (2015) published by Berghahn Books.
http://www.berghahnbooks.com/title.php?rowtag=KuppingerFaithfully
The book examines the lives of ordinary pious Muslims and their communities in Stuttgart, Germany. I illustrate how pious Muslims and their communities are active and engaged citizens and active participants in the urban public sphere, and have long since become integral parts of the cityscape.
Best,
Petra Kuppinger
