Description
Respectable Muslims offers an in-depth ethnographic study of how Muslim minorities in France construct and maintain respectability within a secular, predominantly Christian society. Margot Dazey examines the moral and social practices through which French Muslims negotiate their religious identity while seeking recognition as respectable citizens.
The book explores the tensions between Islamic traditions and French republican values, analyzing how Muslim communities develop strategies for ethical living and social integration. Through detailed fieldwork and interviews, Dazey reveals the complex ways in which Muslims navigate questions of morality, manners, and citizenship.
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Social Theory, Religion and Politics series, this work contributes significantly to understanding religious minorities in Europe, interfaith relations, and the sociology of Islam in Western contexts. It provides valuable insights for scholars of religion, migration studies, and contemporary European society.
