New Multicultural Identities in Europe

<p><b>Multiculturalism in present-day Europe</b><br>How to understand Europe's post-migrant Islam on the one hand and indigenous anti-Islamic movements on the other? What impact will religion have on the European secular world and its regulation? How do social and economic transitions on a transnational scale challenge ethnic and religious identifications? These questions are at the very heart of the debate on multiculturalism in present-day Europe and are addressed by the authors in this book. Through the lens of post-migrant societies manifestations of identity appear in pluralized fragmented and deterritorialized forms. This new European multiculturalism calls into question the nature of boundaries between various ethnic-religious groups as well as the demarcation lines within ethnic-religious communities. Although the contributions in this volume focus on Islam ample attention is also paid to Christianity Judaism and Hinduism. The authors present empirical data from cases in Turkey Germany France Spain the United Kingdom Poland Norway Sweden and Belgium and sharpen the perspectives on the religious-ethnic manifestations of identity in the transnational context of 21st-century Europe. <br><br>Ebook available in Open Access.<br>This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content). <br><br>Contributors <br>Chris Allen (University of Birmingham) Cüneyt Dinç (Süleyman Şah University Istanbul) Frédérique Harry (University of Paris-Sorbonne) Goedroen Juchtmans (KU Leuven and IKKS Antwerp) Vincent Legrand (Université catholique de Louvain) Johan Leman (KU Leuven) Kathryn Lum (European University Institute Florence) Marcel Meciar (Yeditepe University Istanbul) Ephraim Nimni (Queen's University Belfast) Murat Sevencan (Suleyman Sah University Istanbul) İsmail Mesut Sezgin (Leeds Metropolitan University) Erkan Toğuşlu (KU Leuven) Katarzyna Warmińska (Cracow University)</p>
