This book explores the political integration of Muslims and Islam
across contemporary democracies. The author focuses on France, a
country in which the integration of Muslims is usually seen as being
problematic and controversial, and which is struggling with both
Islamic radicalisation on the one hand, and the new wave of
extreme-right populism on the other. Whereas conventional approaches
to the topic of the integration of Muslims in France have tended to
focus on single methods and sources, such as demographic
characteristics or cultural and economic resources, the 'field
mixed-method approach' offered in this book allows for a more nuanced
analysis. It sheds new light on the interactive dynamics between
policy processes, the role of key meso-level actors such as movements
and associations, and the political entrepreneurship of Muslims
themselves within the overarching frame of French citizenship. The
book thus assesses the extent to which a broad set of interactions
link Muslim French to the broader community of French citizens. It
will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in
Political Sociology, Islamic Studies, Citizenship and European
Politics.
