Críticas:

This edited collection presents a range of works that address the challenges and successes of Muslim communities in the U.S. The authors, who come from a variety of academic perspectives and backgrounds, provide a breadth of approaches and commentary on topics of worship, law, participation, and representation. An important addition to the examination of Muslims in the U.S. Highly recommended. * CHOICE * At the dawn of the 21st century, the American Muslim community seemed well along on the path to mainstreaming in American society and institution building. 9/11 has challenged many of these successes and once again raised fundamental questions about Islam, the faith and identity of American Muslims, and their place in American society. Muslims' Place in the American Public Square provides a much-needed perspective on American Muslims, their experience, and place in American religious history and in the public square. -- John L. Esposito, from the foreword

Reseña del editor:

"This, the first volume from the Muslims in the American Public Square research project gives theoretical and demographic portraits of Muslims in the American civil landscape."
