In \u003ci\u003eThe Muslim Question in Europe, \u003c\/i\u003ePeter O'Brien challenges the popular notion that the hostilities concerning immigration--which continues to provoke debates about citizenship, headscarves, secularism, and terrorism--are a clash between \"Islam and the West.\" Rather, he explains, the vehement controversies surrounding European Muslims are better understood as persistent, unresolved \u003ci\u003eintra-European\u003c\/i\u003e tensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO'Brien contends that the best way to understand the politics of state accommodation of European Muslims is through the lens of three competing political ideologies: liberalism, nationalism, and postmodernism. These three broadly understood philosophical traditions represent the most influential normative forces in the politics of immigration in Europe today. He concludes that Muslim Europeans do not represent a monolithic anti-Western bloc within Europe. Although they vehemently disagree among themselves, it is along the same basic liberal, nationalist, and postmodern contours as non-Muslim Europeans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter O'Brien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439912769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439912768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016","brand":"Peter O'Brien","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47036580004095,"sku":"9781439912768","price":95.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce7a3bf8-b63d-40a0-9900-3547b7606960.jpg?v=1752638005","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-muslim-question-in-europe-peter-obrien-9781439912768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
