Rocking Islam Kartoniert (TB)

Despite the rich tradition of worldly and religious music in Muslim cultures and throughout Islamic history music and also women's voices have been often condemned as devil's work. Nevertheless young Muslims use music as a medium to express themselves whilst producing their own lines of thought developing individual (religious) legitimations. In this volume we seek to offer glimpses into the variety of regional phenomena of Music by young Muslims from different countries. The contributions are a result from a Conference held in fall 2018 in Germany which caught the attention of the national media with a huge interest in music and identity formation of young Muslims particularly living in the West.
