ABSTRACT
The first part looks at studies and theories dealing with Muslim youths in Europe, European/German Muslim identity and hybrid identity. The second part reflects on studies about Muslims’ involvement in the public sphere, as well as the concepts of counterpublics and participatory culture. Finally, the book’s contributions are highlighted, in particular its endeavour to combine minority-specific and non-minority specific concepts. It notices that literature on Muslims’ public engagement in Europe is often associated with their minority identity and related concepts. To overcome this, the book applies the concept of counterpublics and participatory culture to shed light on the multifacetedness of Muslim publics and to address activities that are not minority-specific.
