geographies of possibility in Britain and the West Phillips, Richard 1965- text bibliography Electronic book. Electronic books. enk London New York Zed Books Distributed in the USA exclusively by Palgrave Macmillan ©2009 2009 monographic eng 1 online resource (271 pages) : illustrations Debates about contemporary Islam and Muslims in the West have taken some negative turns in the depressing atmosphere of the war on terror and its aftermath. This book argues that we have been too preoccupied with problems, not enough with solutions. It acknowledges but challenges what has come to be viewed as the 'Islamic problem' - the widespread perception or construction of Muslims as a troubled and troublesome minority - by asking what Muslims have to be hopeful about today, and how others might share this hope.
