""This is an insightful account of the lives and everyday experiences of British Turks. Drawing on her detailed research across a range of contexts, Özge Onay situates these experiences in the context of expressions of Islamophobia, social change and changing forms of identity."" Prof. John Solomos, Department of Sociology, University of Warwick, UK“After meticulously examining this incisive study of British Turks' navigation of Islamophobia, identity, and belonging in contemporary Britain, Onay's nuanced exploration of the intersections between Turkish secularism, British multiculturalism, and the lived experiences of an oft-overlooked Muslim community not only challenges monolithic understandings of Islamophobia but also illuminates the complex, conjunctural nature of identity formation in an era of increasing xenophobia and cultural anxiety.” Prof. Tahir Abbas, Leiden University, the Netherlands, and author of Radicalisation: A Critical and Integrated Perspective (2025)
