New chapter published - "Islamophobia and its consequqnces"

You can now download a pdf version of the new book, "European Islam: Challenges for Society and Public Policy" (eds. Samir Amghar, Amel Boubekeur and Michael Emerson) from my website at

www.chris-allen.co.uk

For free.

The publishers, the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), describe the book:

Works on Islam in Europe often read like a juxtaposition of national case studies covering the history and perhaps the sociology of immigrant groups in the countries considered. Although the sociology of Islam is well-developed in certain European countries such as France, Germany and the UK, it is only in its infancy as a discipline at the European level. The chapters in this work, by leading European experts in the field, therefore aim to supply policy-makers, analysts and civil society leaders with an inventory of the main issues concerning the presence of Islam in Europe. The key message is that European Islam exists as a powerful transnational phenomenon, and European policy must keep pace with this reality.

Contributors include Samir Amghar, Amel Boubekeur, Michael Emerson, Chris Allen, Valerie Amiraux, Tufyal Choudhury, Bernard Godard, Imane Karich, Isabelle Rigoni, Olivier Roy and Sara Silvestri.
