Description

"Exploring recent contemporary debates on migration and integration, this book provides a comparative focus on Euro-Muslims residing in Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Based on extensive qualitative and quantitative field work, it critically engages with both republicanist and multiculaturalist policies of integration. Questioning the economy of integration and securitization as well as the rise of prudentialism at the expense of the welfare state, the book claims that integration means more than the cultural and linguistic assimilation of migrants. It challenges the success of contemporary forms of accommodation of Islam by the western states, which are likely to prevent young generations of Euro-Muslims from individualising themselves. The book provides evidence that young Euro-Muslims consider Islam as an instrument of emancipation, and it underlines the need for transnationalizing integration."--Book cover.
