{"product_id":"islam-and-public-controversy-in-nilzfer-gzile-9781472413130","title":"Islam and Public Controversy in Europe","description":"The public visibility of Islam is becoming increasingly controversial throughout European countries. With case studies drawn from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, this book examines a range of public issues, including mosque construction, ritual slaughter, Sharia councils and burqa bans, addressing the question of 'Islamic difference' in public life outside the confines of established normative discourses that privilege freedom of religion, minority rights or multiculturalism. Acknowledging the creative role of dissent, it explores the manner in which public controversies unsettle the religious-secular divide and reshape European norms in the domains of aesthetics, individual freedom, animal rights and law. Developing an innovative conceptual framework and elaborating the notion of controversy as a methodological tool, Islam and Public Controversy in Europe draws our attention to the processes of interaction, confrontation and mutual transformation, thereby opening up a new horizon for rethinking difference and pluralism in Europe. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in religion, integration, cultural difference and the public sphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nilüfer Göle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147241313X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472413130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Nilüfer Göle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135884407039,"sku":"9781472413130","price":278.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4623fa30-a158-4142-975f-4bf8d787a64f.jpg?v=1770159089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islam-and-public-controversy-in-nilzfer-gzile-9781472413130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
