Spyros A. Sofos

In this volume the authors take us beyond analysis of society and politics. Their focus is the complex and tense field of the conceptual: in what ways are Muslims in Europe European Muslims; what do events and related discourses do to affect the formation of European Muslim identities? A valuable pointer to future lines of research. Jorgen S. Nielsen, Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
