"Somalis are one of the most chastised Muslim communities in Europe. Frequently depicted
in the news as victims of female genital mutilation, perpetrators of gang violence,
or as jihadi brides and radical Islamists, Somalis have long been seen as a problematic
refugee community in Britain and beyond. Somali, Muslim, British shifts attention
away from these public debates to provide a detailed ethnographic study of the lives
of Somali Muslim women in the United Kingdom. Based on ethnographic research with
21 households in London, it explores the aspirations of Somali women and how these
shift over the course of the life cycle and across generations. It argues that these
women's aspirations are shaped by, but also unsettle, contemporary ideas of religion,
culture and nationality. Giulia Liberatore demonstrates that the increasing dominance
of Islamic piety in Europe cannot be explained solely through the lens of religion
and migration. Instead, it needs to be understood as one among many different forms
of striving - such as for modernity or financial security - that individuals pursue
throughout their lives. Bringing new perspectives to debates about Islam, multiculturalism,
integration, and national identity in Europe and beyond, this book makes an important
contribution to the anthropology of religion, subjectivity, and gender"
