DESCRIPTION:Ahmet Yükleyen Localizing Islam in Europe: Turkish Islamic Comm
 unities in Germany and the Netherlands In the twentieth century\, Muslim m
 inorities emerged in Europe seeking work\, a refuge from conflict\, and hi
 gher life standards. As a result\, there are now more than 12 million Musl
 ims in Western Europe. As these immigrants became permanent residents\, th
 e Islamic communities they developed had to respond to their European cont
 ext\, reinterpreting Islam in accordance with local conditions. In Yükleye
 n's forthcoming book titled "Localizing Islam in Europe" from Syracuse Uni
 versity Press in Fall 2011\, Yükleyen brings this adaptation to light\, de
 monstrating how Islam and Europe have shaped one another and challenging t
 he idea that Islamic beliefs are inherently antithetical to European secul
 ar\, democratic\, and pluralist values. Drawing on extensive fieldwork\, h
 e finds that\, despite differences in goals and beliefs\, Turkish Islamic 
 communities play an intermediary role\, negotiating between the social and
  religious needs of Muslims and the socioeconomic\, legal\, and political 
 context of Europe. Yükleyen’s rich ethnography shows that there is no sing
 le form of assimilated and privatized "European Islam" but rather Islamic 
 communities and their interpretations and practices that localize Islam in
  Europe. Ahmet Yükleyen Croft Assistant Professor of Anthropology Croft In
