The Mobile Ummah: Belonging and Travel among Muslim Converts in Spain
Converts to Islam in southern Spain struggle to understand their place in the ummah (the global Muslim community). Some converts experience anxiety about their newfound minority Muslim status at home and racialized tensions with Spain's migrant Muslims. This article asks what it means for converts to desperately want to feel belonging in a global Muslim community and to seek recognition from born Muslims, but also emphatically not to want to belo…
Striving toward Piety: Gendered Conversion to Islam in Catholic-Secular Spain
Convert Muslim women strive to disembody secularity and cultivate piety in Spain, where "Spanish" (read, Catholic and secular) and "Muslim" (read, pious and foreign) are conceptualized as mutually exclusive identities and ethical regimes of action. To manage their transition across this boundary, convert women flexibly combine elements of what they deem "secular" and "pious" realms of action, reinterpreting sex before marriage, nonveiling, and "s…

Murabitun Religious Conversion: Time, Depth, and Scale among Spain's New Muslims
This article calls for a reworking of the concept of religious conversion, one that goes beyond the recent tendency to focus on temporality as the defining feature of religious change. This emphasis on time has led to a bifurcation of scholarship between work on rupture-oriented Christian conversion and on return-oriented Muslim reversion. I draw on ethnographic fieldwork with Sufi Murabitun converts in southern Spain to illustrate the limits of …
We suffered in our bones just like them: Comparing Migrations at the Margins of Europe
In this article, I trace how return migrants (former labor emigrants) from Andalusia, Spain draw on their regional history of emigration as a resource for claiming the moral authority to assess immigrants from the global south. By comparing their own migratory experiences and those of new migrants, Andalusians renegotiate competing ideas about their region's membership in Europe, a question with renewed political saliency during the ongoing econo…

Managing Muslim Visibility: Conversion, Immigration, and Spanish Imaginaries of Islam
This article explores the efforts of Muslims, particularly European converts and Moroccan immigrants, to represent Islam in southern Spain.

The article contributes to understandings of Islam in Europe by examining …
Ambivalent inclusion: Anti-racism and racist gatekeeping in Andalusia's immigrant NGOs
This article explores encounters between Andalusian NGO workers and immigrant clients in southern Spain. It traces how local ambivalence about pluralism, rooted in long-standing debates about the legacy of Andalusia's medieval Muslim past, produces both inclusion and exclusion of migrants. On the one hand, Andalusian NGO staff have developed a discourse of anti-racism in which care for immigrants is a means of constructing a modern, progressive i…

Al-Andalus in Andalusia: Negotiating Moorish History and Regional Identity in Southern Spain
Introduction: Formatting a Until 2006, the culminating moment of the annual Festival of Moors and in parts of Valencia, Spain was the sight of Muslim and Jewish figures burning in effigy. In recent history, a giant, turban-clad puppet known as Mahoma (Mohammed) was exploded each year at the festival, his gunpowder-filled head set ablaze with a cigar. This year, however, due to fears of retaliation from Muslim extremists, brought about in part by …
