In the face of state repression, French Muslims have not closed ranks around a narrow range of voices; instead, Kirsten Wesselhoeft finds that young Muslim activists have continued to purposefully spark debate about the values that anchor community life. Wesselhoeft argues that such disagreements, far from dividing communities, actually constitute a form belonging. Some activists call this ethic \"fraternal critique,\" and Wesselhoeft finds in it profound insights about the place for critique in civic life. The French state has reacted to Muslim solidarity with repression, but Wesselhoeft argues that unity need not come at the expense of dissent. Instead, fraternal critique can teach us how to build communities that are worth fighting over and fighting for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsten Wesselhoeft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226838269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226838267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Kirsten Wesselhoeft","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526477697279,"sku":"9780226838267","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f02dc86-2309-4d38-a82b-32bb6a104b8c.jpg?v=1737556295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fraternal-critique-kirsten-wesselhoeft-9780226838267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
