Rutgers University Pressc20111 online resource (184 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8135-5055-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Muslim migrants, Bangladeshis abroad -- Bangladesh : nationalism, Islam, and international migration -- Bangladeshi American dreams -- Becoming Muslim American -- British Bangladeshis : changing transnational social worlds -- Muslim encounters in the global economy : labor migration to the Gulf States and Malaysia -- Muslim migrants : national origins and revivalist Islam.In Muslims in Motion, Nazli Kibria provides a comparative look at Bangladeshi Muslims in different global contexts--including Britain, the U.S., the Middle East, and Malaysia. Kibria examines international migrant flows from Bangladesh, and considers how such migrations continue to shape Islamization in these areas. Having conducted more than 200 in-depth interviews, she explores how, in societies as different as these, migrant Muslims, in their everyday lives, strive to achieve economic gains, sustain community and family life, and realize a sense of dignity and honor. Muslims in Motion offers fresh insights into the prominence of Islam in these communities, especially an Islam defined by fundamentalist movements and ideologies. Kibria also focuses on the complex significance of nationality--with rich analyses of the diaspora, the role of gender and class, and the multiple identities of the migrants, she shows how nationality can be both a critical source of support and also of difficulty for many in their efforts to attain lives of dignity. By bringing to life a vast range of experiences, this book challenges prevailing stereotypes of Muslims.
