At Home in Europe: Muslims in Hamburg

More about the book

"Through engagement with policymakers and communities, Muslims in Hamburg examines the political, social, and economic participation of Muslim communities living in Hamburg, Germany--a city known for its long history of immigration and where inter-religious dialogue and inclusion form a visible part of the daily life of the city. The report focuses on the district of Hamburg-Mitte, offering new insights and, possibly for the first time, portraying the city from the perspective of its Muslim population. The report outlines and examines Muslim experiences in the areas of education, employment, health, housing and social protection, citizenship and political participation, policing and security, media, belonging, identity and interactions. While recognizing the local administration's efforts and successes in enhancing integration, the report offers a series of recommendations for local and national authorities, Muslim communities and other minority groups, NGOs and community organizations, the media and broader civil society to take this further."--Publisher description.
