Craig Considine

Islam, Race, and Pluralism in the Pakistani Diaspora (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the Pakistani diaspora in a transatlantic context, enquiring into the ways in which young first- and second-generation Pakistani Muslim and non-Muslim men resist hegemonic identity narratives and respond to their marginalised conditions. Drawing on rich documentary, ethnographic and interview material gathered in Boston and Dublin, it explores the language of fear and how this fear has given rise to a 'politics of fear' whose aim is to distract and divide communities.
