London Youth, Religion, and Politics - Engagement and Activism From Brixton to Brick Lane

Zusatztext What distinguishes this book ... is the way it engages with questions about religion and its influence on civic engagement, social action, and national identity. Although not exclusively focused on religious individuals, DeHanas recruited a large portion of his participants within and around religious institutions and, more unusually, uses ethnographic insights to trace the influence and popularity of such institutions and their leaders on young ethnic minority populations ... London Youth, Religion and Politics contains a wealth of resources for characterising and understanding such knowledge systems among ethnic minority religious traditions and thus contains valuable lessons for scholars working in ethnic studies, urban studies, the sociology of religion as well as in other academic disciplines Informationen zum Autor Daniel Nilsson DeHanas is Lecturer of Political Science and Religion at King's College London. He is Editor of the journal Religion, State and Society. Klappentext This study concerns the role of religion in the civic integration of London's second-generation youth through comparative ethnographic studies of two groups: the predominantly Christian Jamaican population in Brixton and the predominantly Muslim Bangladeshi population of the East End.
