As European Muslims and Muslims in the Middle East diverge, imams in Europe have emerged as major agents of religious authority who shape Islam's presence in Western societies. This volume examines the theoretical and practical questions concerning the evolving role of imams in Europe. To what extent do imams act as intermediaries between European states and Muslim communities? Do states subsidise imam training? How does institutionalisation of Islam differ between European states?
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This volume is a useful tool for students, researchers and lecturers who are interested in the fields of sociology and anthropology of Islam, diaspora studies, migration studies, and Islamic studies in general. It is a very thorough "road map" for graduate students, scholars and policy makers who work in the areas of education, integration and Muslim minorities and is generally very well balanced in both the theory and its case studies. The work effectively sketches the institution of the imamate in Europe, from both a macro and a micro perspective." - Merve Reyhan Kayikci, Journal of Muslims in Europe 2020
"Nous sommes en presence d'un ouvrage qui contient des etudes approfondies et qui apporte des eclairages utiles sur la figure de l'imam dans les pays d'Europe de l'Ouest. [=] ce collectif constitue une contribution pionniere sur les imams europeens, qui donne matiere a reflechir a d'autres chercheurs travaillant sur l'autorite religieuse en islam, sur d'autres religions ou encore sur des thematiques plus larges, telles que la migration, la secularisation ou le multiculturalisme." - Dr Anna Grasso, Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions
"This fascinating book on imams in Western Europe is well timed to respond to the European discourse on Islam and Muslims, coming at a time of remarkable developments in the imam as a concept, as a religious institution, and as an authority for the Muslims of Western Europe." - Jorgen S. Nielsen, Professor, Universities of Birmingham and Copenhagen
