This volume explores current interactions between Muslims and the more or less secularized public spaces of several European states, assessing the challenges such interactions imply for both Muslims and the societies in which they now live. 'The place of Muslims in Europe has never been more topical. Hence the need for measured and careful accounts of both the institutional context and the actors involved in different parts of Europe. This collection offers both, providing much needed background to current debate.' Grace Davie, University of Exeter, UK 'This welcome collection provides fresh and invaluable insights into some of the foremost issues surrounding Muslims in contemporary Europe.'
