How do Muslims living in Scotland identify with the nation and how do they feel about their local communities?
Between the 2001 and 2011 the Muslim population of Scotland increased by nearly eighty percent, and indications are that it will continue to rise. Yet Scotland’s Muslim community does not feature prominently in research about ‘Muslims in Britain’: at best, Scotland is mentioned in passing, and at worst, generalisations are made about ‘British Muslims’ based on the assumption that the experiences of Muslims in Scotland and Muslims in England are the same.
This book brings together leading and emerging scholars from a range of disciplines who have undertaken research with Muslims in Scotland over the last decade. This collection is one of the first to explore the everyday lives, political engagements and social practices of Scotland’s Muslims. Themes and issues engaged with include: education, health and well-being; sexuality, gender and age; integration, multiculturalism and citizenship; and heritage, media and representation.
Peter Hopkins is Professor of Social Geography in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology at Newcastle University. His previous co-edited books include
Muslims in Britain: Race, Place and Identities
(co-edited with Richard Gale, EUP, 2009).
