Description
Book SynopsisThe first book-length study to examine identity politics among the Bangladeshi diaspora delves into the micro-level dynamics, the internal and external factors and the role of the state and locates these within the broad framework of Muslim identity and Islamism, citizenship and the future of multiculturalism in Europe.
Trade Review"Islam and Identity Politics among British-Bangladeshis is a welcome addition to the scholarly literature on the Bangladeshi diaspora. Its great strength is that it brings together a variety of sources on this topic, from scholarly articles to newspaper articles and government reports. It will be of particular interest to those who are interested in learning more about the British Bangladeshi population."
