Reviews

'This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the legal status of European Muslims and ways of accommodating cultural and religious diversity. It presents a thorough and well-informed analysis as well as compelling critiques of existing attempts to reconcile conflicting cultural practices. It also offers a persuasive solution, namely, the need for genuine and effective dialogue grounded in social theory.' Journal of Islamic Studies 'This is a very timely book on one of the most disputed legal and cultural issues in Europe today. Andrea Buchler has left no stone unturned to systematize and analyze the scope and limits for the application of Islamic norms in European family laws from private international law to arbitration. The book is extraordinary in its problem-orientated and comparative approach.' Mathias Rohe, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany 'Deftly written and superbly argued, this book is a must read for all interested in legal pluralism, Muslim family law, and Islam in Europe.' Seyla Benhabib, Yale University, USA
