Paperback. Condition: New. Muslims in Milwaukee explores the everyday lives, identities, and activism of Muslims in a midsized Midwestern city. Milwaukee is one of America's most segregated cities, yet within its boundaries, a vibrant Muslim community is reshaping narratives and embodied practices of belonging, civic engagement, and urban placemaking. While considerable scholarship on Muslim Americans has concentrated on larger metropolitan centers like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, or on Detroit's historic Arab neighborhoods, this book turns our attention to an understudied city where Muslim communities are small but rapidly growing, and where their experiences unfold within distinct local landscapes of race, segregation, and opportunity. Drawing on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork, surveys, and extensive interviews with community members, students, artists, activists, and leaders, the authors examine how local political, economic, and historical structures shape Muslim American experiences and civic participation, situating their analysis within the dual dynamics of belonging on one hand and exclusion and discrimination on the other.…

Issued without a dust jacket. -- This ethnographic study by anthropologist Anna Mansson McGinty explores the personal and spiritual journeys of Swedish and American women who have embraced Islam. The book is based on in-depth interviews with nine women (six Swedish and three American), providing a nuanced look at how conversion reshapes their sense of self. Continuity vs. Transformation: While conversion is often viewed as a sudden break from the past, McGinty argues that for many women, it represents a continuity of values - such as social justice, environmentalism, and gender equality - that they held prior to becoming Muslim. Alternative Femininity: The study explores how converts use Islam to formulate an "alternative femininity" that critiques both Western objectification of women and certain traditional patriarchal interpretations within Muslim-majority cultures. The text is divided into parts covering individual conversion narratives, personal models of spirituality, and the "looping effects" of meaning in family, work, and sisterhood. The book is frequently recommended for college-level courses in religion, psychology, and women's studies. It is noted for its sensitive approach to how Western Muslims are "othered" even when they remain culturally Western.…
