"This book is a study of the UK-based Ahmadiyya Muslim community in the context of
the twentieth-century South Asian diaspora. Originating in late-nineteenth-century
Punjab, the Ahmadis are today a vibrant international religious movement; they are
also a group that has been declared heretic by other Muslims and one that continues
to face persecution in Pakistan, the country the Ahmadis made their home after the
partition of India in 1947. Structured as a series of case studies, the book focuses
on the ways in which the Ahmadis balance the demands of faith, community, and modern
life in the diaspora. Following an overview of the history and beliefs of the Ahmadis,
the chapters examine in turn: the use of ceremonial occasions to consolidate a diverse
international community; the paradoxical survival of the enchantments of dreams and
charisma within the structures of an institutional bureaucracy; asylum claims and
the ways in which the plight of asylum seekers has been strategically deployed to
position the Ahmadis on the UK political stage; and how the planning and building
of mosques serves to establish a home within the diaspora. Based on fieldwork conducted
over several years in a range of formal and informal contexts, this timely book will
be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience from social and cultural anthropology,
South Asian studies, the study of Islam and of Muslims in Europe, refugee, asylum
and diaspora studies, as well as more generally religious studies and history"
