When Islam and Democracy Meet: Muslims in Europe and in the United States

More about the book

The book delves into the significant yet often overlooked role of Islam in American and European societies, particularly post-9/11. It highlights the experiences of nearly twelve million Muslims in Western Europe and six million in America as they navigate integration challenges. Cesari analyzes the dynamic interactions between Muslims and their host countries, addressing themes of visibility, conflict, and cooperation. By adopting a holistic perspective on Muslims as a new minority, the work offers crucial insights into their evolving role within democratic frameworks.
