Review:

Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title Award Winner, December 2008. Readable and authoritative chapters on prayer leaders, the legal status of Islamic contracts, the growing importance since the 1980s of identity politics, gender issues, South Asian Muslims, pop music, language and educational issues, Muslims as consumers, and how Muslims are portrayed in the German media make this book a must for anyone interested in the changing face of Islam in Germany today. D.F. Eickelman,CHOICE, 2008 Together the chapters provide a broad and interesting overview over many important aspects of the dynamic process in which Muslims and Islam are becoming a part of German society.
