This volume is about the need for American Muslims to move “beyond minority politics” in their quest for religious self-determination. This volume aims to contribute to advancing self-transformation among American Muslims and to help in setting priorities and deploying effective approaches to religious self-determination. It analyzes the multiple and overlapping identities that different communities of Americans tend to share and examines the complex and evolving meaning of American citizenship, highlighting the historically harsh policies of racial exclusion. It also describes the significant variety of American Muslims and their diverse experiences of citizenship, explains the constitutional and legal framework of religious self-determination in relation to traditional interpretations of Sharia, and examines the mediation of tensions between separation of religion and state. This volume also calls on American Muslims to embrace both their citizenship and faith.
