Political Muslims : understanding youth resistance in a global context
In \"Political Muslims,\" Abbas, Hamid, and their contributors seek to provide a new perspective on Muslim youth, presenting them as agents of creative social change--as emerging adults who are participating in cultural, organizational, community, and socially oriented projects to positively influence socio-political transformation in response to the everyday challenges they face. Each case study brings the reader to a new geographic location, providing original contributions on how a new generation of Muslim youth are engaging in issues relating to their faith, gender, identity, community, social injustice, and globalization, and confronting social change and the negative impacts of Islamophobia and radicalization.

Contemporary British Muslim arts and cultural production : identity, belonging and social change
\"This unique collaboration between scholars, practitioners and Muslim artists profiles emerging forms of contemporary British Muslim art, prompting a debate about its purpose and its inclusion in UK society. It features analysis of Muslim art as a category, as well as reflective accounts of people working in theatre, popular music, the heritage sector and ancient and modern visual arts, often at the margins of the British arts industry. Dealing with sociological and theological themes as well as art history and practice, the volume provides a timely intervention on a neglected topic. The collection discusses diverse topics including how second and third generation British Muslims, as part of a broader generational shift, have reworked Sufi music and traditional calligraphy and fused them with new musical and artistic styles, from Grime to comic book art, alongside consideration of the experiences of Muslim artists who work in the theatre, museums and the performing arts sectors. It is a must-read for students and researchers of theology and religious studies, Islamic studies, fine art, cultural studies and ethnic and racial studies\"-- Provided by publisher.
