Islamic Movements of Europe

Recent years have seen a number of attempts to provide encyclopaedic works seeking to bring together the increasing amount of research on Muslims in Europe, a subject area which has grown exponentially since the 1990s. Most notable among these have been the volume from Oxford University Press, The Oxford Handbook of European Islam edited by Jocelyne Caesari (2015), and the Brill annual Yearbook of Muslims in Europe, now approaching its ninth year. Here now is another attempt to meet this need, this time in a single volume and at a rather more humane price than the other two. The approach to the material is also different. Some seventy brief articles (not counting editors’ introductions) are distributed over eleven sections and subsections. Each of the latter has a thematic coherence while the individual articles each focus on one specific country. So the reader seeking information about a particular country will need to identify the several articles on that country spread over several (sub)sections. In the circumstances, it might have been helpful had the index included references to countries
