Being Muslim in Boston (Identity in the Islamic Society of Boston - A two-year ethnographic study of a growing Muslim community of faith in the Northeast United States)

Huraian

The American Muslim community continues to grow and seek its self-definition. Increasingly, American Muslims do not merely recreate the experiences of older immigrant groups, but rather face unique challenges that demand investigation. In this book, the author explores the lives of the Muslims of the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB), a diverse community whose members strive to adapt to the American environment through the embrace of a distinctively Islamic identity.
