New Book: Muslim Diasporas in the West

Muslim Diasporas in the West
Tahir Abbas
Routledge, 2017
https://www.routledge.com/Muslim-Diasporas-in-the-West/Abbas/p/book/9781138187955
This major works collection surveys the nature of Muslim diasporas in
the west from a sociological perspective, exploring the issues of
migration, integration, identity, politics, Islamophobia, and
radicalisation.
This four-volume collected works is the state of the art on the research
and scholarship on Muslim diasporas in the West carried out over the
last four decades. From canonical works to the latest trends in study,
these contributions have added to the understanding of ethnicity,
equality and diversity in relation to Muslims in the west. These
articles explore the philosophies of multiculturalism, integration, and
interculturalism. They also analyse issues of identity politics,
Islamophobia, and radicalisation. The research carried out on Muslims in
the west has had a significant impact on the study of Muslim minorities
in other parts of the world. This major works collection suitably
captures the significance of past research and its importance for
further scholarship in relation to Muslims and Islam across Europe,
North America, and Australia.

New Book: The Politics and Practice of Religious Diversity

The Politics and Practice of Religious Diversity: National Contexts,
Global Issues
Edited by Andrew Dawson
Routledge 2016
https://www.routledge.com/The-Politics-and-Practice-of-Religious-Diversity-National-Contexts-Global/Dawson/p/book/9781138791817
The Politics and Practice of Religious Diversity engages with one of the
most characteristic features of modern society. An increasingly
prominent and potentially contentious phenomenon, religious diversity is
intimately associated with contemporary issues such as migration, human
rights, social cohesion, socio-cultural pluralisation, political
jurisdiction, globalisation, and reactionary belief systems.
This edited collection of specially-commissioned chapters provides an
unrivalled geographical coverage and multidisciplinary treatment of the
socio-political processes and institutional practices provoked by, and
associated with, religious diversity. Alongside chapters treating
religious diversity in the ‘BRIC’ countries of Brazil, Russia, India and
China, are contributions which discuss Australia, Finland, Mexico, South
Africa, the UK, and the United States.
This book provides an accessible, distinctive and timely treatment of a
topic which is inextricably linked with modern society’s progressively
diverse and global trajectory. Written and structured as an accessible
volume for the student reader, this book is of immediate interest to
both academics and laypersons working in mainstream and political
sociology, sociology of religion, human geography, politics, area
studies, migration studies and religious studies.
