Publisher's Synopsis
Muslim Engagement with the West. Deomcracy has been a global endeavour and concern, as in its ideal form, it gives promise to liberty, freedoms and rights. However, after especially 9/11 and 7/7, securitization has become a more immediate goal, making security the driving discourse today. But, both secrity and democracy are becoming ever less attainable in today's climate of increased division and cleavages along ideological lines and Islamophobia - an acute problem for citizenship in humanity. The papers explore issues around citizenship and identity of the Muslim diaspora.
