Reviews

'Being Young, Male and Muslim in Luton is barely 100 pages, yet it packs a powerful punch, skilfully combining facts, theory, and description to provide insight into the reasons why third-generation young Muslim men combine their Islamic faith with everyday provincial 'Britishness'. ...As an ethnography [it] is well written, commendably well referenced, and nicely contextualized in the relevant literature... as an imaginative and insightful monograph on young Muslims in Britain, the book deserves to be taught widely in introductory courses in anthropology.' Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI) 'this book has lots of interesting insights to offer' European Journal of Communication 'These are fundamentally stories of young men in modern urban environments. The book's most valuable work is to shed light on this reality. Hoque shows us a world of people who have been parodied in the press but are for the most part ordinary citizens trying to understand how they fit into modern life.' Literary Review
