Routledge Islam in Transition: Routledge Sociology and Anthropology Book

Islam in Transition examines how Islamic religion maintains strong loyalties within a predominantly secular society. This study looks at how young British Pakistanis find stability and a sense of permanence through their continued adherence to their faith. Drawing from extensive field-work, the author provides a deep look into how traditional sources of authority and allegiance survive even when concepts of identity face constant challenges. By using direct quotations from interviews, the book offers a firsthand perspective on the lived experiences of this community. This work is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the sociology of religion and identity. It provides a clear view of how religious practice functions as a foundation for many individuals navigating a changing world.
