  • More about Secularism, Islam and Public Intellectuals in Contemporary France

This book explores how prominent French Muslim intellectuals are seeking to articulate a vision of multi-faith co-existence that embraces critical secularism and draws on religious and secular humanist traditions. It will be of interest to specialists, undergraduate, and post-graduate students working across the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Format: Hardback
Length: 192 pages
Publication date: 04 December 2019
Publisher: Manchester University Press


Islam in France is frequently viewed as a political matter, and much of the scholarly and public discourse surrounding Islam in contemporary France has focused on the purportedly "antagonistic relationship between France, Islam, and its Muslims." Despite this challenging backdrop, this book explores the ways in which certain prominent French Muslim intellectuals strive to articulate a vision of multi-faith coexistence, which embraces critical secularism and draws upon religious and secular humanist traditions. Intellectuals have historically played a significant role in French public life, yet relatively little is known about the work of Abdelwahab Meddeb, Malek Chebel, Leïla Babès, Dounia Bouzar, and Abdennour Bidar, whose writings and public interventions this book examines.

Secularism, Islam, and public intellectuals in contemporary France will be of particular interest to specialists, undergraduate, and post-graduate students working across the Humanities and Social Sciences from disciplines such as Francophone Studies, Anthropology, Religious Studies, or Sociology.
