Unlike most studies of immigrant groups, these essays concentrate on cultural practices and expressions of everyday life rather than on the political issues that dominate today's headlines. The authors emphasize the cultural strength and creativity of communities that draw upon Islamic symbols and practices to define "Muslim space" against the background of a non-Muslim environment. -- The range of perspectives is broad, encompassing middle-class professionals, mosque congregations, factory workers in France and the north of England, itinerant African traders, and prison inmates in New York. The truism that "Islam is a religion of the word" takes on concrete meaning as these disparate communities find ways to elaborate word-centered ritual and to have the visual and aural presence of sacred words in the spaces they inhabit. -- Publisher description. 410 0$aComparative Studies on Muslim Societies Series 606 $aMuslims$zEurope 606 $aMuslims$zNorth America 615 0$aMuslims 615 0$aMuslims 676 $a297.3 700 $aMetcalf$b Barbara$f1941-$01379001 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910496142303321 996 $aMaking Muslim space in North America and Europe$93418326 997 $aUNINA
