The study of Islam and Muslims in Europe and North America has experienced significant growth in recent decades, becoming a highly debated and divisive field. This collection critically examines the development of Islamic Studies and its role in society. Featuring contributions from anthropologists, historians, and scholars of religion, each chapter presents new empirical material and explores various approaches to the study of Islam, both historically and in the present. The book situates Islamic Studies within broader discussions of identity construction and its political implications in Europe and North America. Authors also address tensions between normative and non-normative approaches to the study of Islam and Muslims and propose ways to reconcile them.
