INNOVATION - The European Journal of Social Science Research

Volume 11 Number 4 December 1998 MUSLIM IDENTITIES, ISLAM AND EUROPE Guest Editor: Yunas Samad The fourth and final issue of Volume 11 of Innovation is devoted to Muslims in Europe. Most of the papers included in this issue were first presented at the Euroconference on 'Migration and Multiculturalism' organised by the ICCR, the European Association for the Advancement of Social Sciences, and ASEN at the London School of Economics in the Summer of 1995. Guest editor is Yunas Samad of the University of Bradford. In this special issue Bobby Sayyid shows how those who accuse Islamists of 'bad faith' are often themselves operating on the basis of constructed and essentialising notions of Western identity; Pandelis Glavanis presents an analytical framework for re-thinking the relationship between religious and ethnic identity in relation to political action; Kay Adamson explores the question of the extent to which the character of the Algerian conflict reflects both the colonial project in Algeria and that project's legacy in Europe; Claire Alexander criticises holistic and organic imaginations of the Muslim community through the exploration of alternative and shifting configurations of youth identifications. Sean McCloughlin analyses the politics of representation in multicultural societies by taking the example of an application for state funding from an independent Muslim girls' school in Britain; and Yunas Samad examines the intersection of global media with processes of imagining identification among diasporic groups and in relation to gender identity.
