| Description: | Select Guide Rating Concise history of Muslims in Britain since 1800 Muslims constitute Britain’s second largest religious grouping, and writing about their experiences has found a new audience in recent years--though not always through a positive lens. But a proper historical treatment of their arrival, settlement and establishment had been conspicuously absent until Humayun Ansari’s seminal work, reissued here in an updated edition. ''The Infidel Within" draws together rich archival research and first-hand experience into a broad, integrated history of the Muslim presence in Britain. Among the topics addressed are migration and settlement in Britain before 1945, the evolution of a British Muslim identity, Muslim women and families, Muslims and education, and the growing mobilisation of Muslims in Britain’s political, religious and economic life. This definitive and sympathetic history, brought right up to date, is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand modern Britain. |
