Reviews

This volume is a useful tool for students, researchers and lecturers who are interested in the fields of sociology and anthropology of Islam, diaspora studies, migration studies, and Islamic studies in general. It is a very thorough road map for graduate students, scholars and policy makers who work in the areas of education, integration and Muslim minorities and is generally very well balanced in both the theory and its case studies. The work effectively sketches the institution of the imamate in Europe, from both a macro and a micro perspective. - Merve Reyhan Kayikci, Journal of Muslims in Europe 2020[-][-] Nous sommes en pr sence d'un ouvrage qui contient des tudes approfondies et qui apporte des clairages utiles sur la figure de l'imam dans les pays d'Europe de l'Ouest.
