Islam & The Western World

The fascination of the West with Islam and Arab culture as well as the experiences of Muslims, in particular of those who converted, are central to this current issue themed Islam & the Western World. Complying with the UAJSS tradition, our contributors examine, from different disciplinary perspectives, the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims, the East and the West, English and Arabic.
