Review
\'This is a refreshing and innovative account of the formation of different types of consciousness among Muslims in Britain and globally. Nasar Meer\'s lucid analysis of the complex processes at work is a timely reminder of the dangers of an over-simplified understanding of both Islam and Muslim communities. This is a book that deserves the widest possible readership\' - John Solomos, Professor of Sociology, City University London, UK \'Nasar Meer\'s timely book makes an important contribution to current understandings of multiculturalism in Britain. He successfully deploys a critical application of the work of W.E.B Du Bois to theorise \'Muslim-consciousness\' in relation to state funding of Muslim schools, race discrimination legislation and media representations of Muslim identity. The book uses Du Bois\' notion of consciousness to articulate a nuanced understanding of British Muslim consciousness, distinguishing between a consciousness that exists \'in itself\' and \'for itself\', where the former is a socially imposed consciousness and the latter which is a product of self-mobilisation. Meer\'s work is both theoretically strong and empirically original.\' - Judith Squires, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol, UK
