Re-imagining European Identity Politics in the 21st Century: The Social Integration of Muslims

In this timely work, Alexander Castilla deconstructs the myth of the so- called clash between Islam and democracy, and examines the diverse factors involving the social integration and religious accommodation of Muslims in Catalonia during the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and the March 11, 2004 terrorist attacks in Spain. Re-imagining European Identity Politics in the 21st Century combines an historical, political and philosophical analysis about Islam and democracy and contributes to the literature on peace and security studies, ethnic relations as well as to studies of migration, citizenship and nationalism.
