Being Young and Muslim: New Cultural Politics in the Global South and North (Religion and Global Politics)

In the context of globalization and modernization, this is a wonderful collection of young papers on adolescent (and minority) society's youth. The special advantage of this volume is the ability to emphasize multiple controversial religious and personal beliefs. In the formation of contemporary young Muslim identities, these insights often challenge secular Western contemporary master stories and suggest a reconceptualization of the reliability of today's young and modern world.

"This series of research papers are asking about the cultures and politics of South and North Muslim youths to understand their trajectories, situations and choices." - Islamic Perspectives

One of the most impressive features of "youth and Muslims" is the consistent quality of chapters and how they fit together, especially with regard to the excellent presentation provided by the editor.

In any case, religious beliefs and religious beliefs inevitably form social and political power in the secular society of the north and form a deep religious culture in the southern world. From economic inequality to immigration, we will explore the relationship between religion and various social and political problems. "Finally, the external form of religion is not that important - they are cultural products, sacred vessels (potential pipelines) and should not be confused with sacredness (this will be idolatry See other gods than God. "

In my opinion, global political and economic trends will continue to influence how the religions and beliefs in the global southern evolve. This, like the United States, has a direct impact on global north "religious" concepts. In fact, this means that religious discourse after liberation and colonialism is a reflection of the black churches and other "colors" that focus on how their beliefs can create hopeless reality in culture and economics It happened because we entered the church. reaction

Cultural globalization is one of the three aspects of globalization common in scholarly literature, the other two are economic globalization and political globalization. However, unlike economic and political globalization, cultural globalization is not subject to extensive research. Many attempts have been made to measure globalization. In many cases, we use indexes that capture quantitative data on trade flows, political integration, and other measurements. The two most notable are AT Kearney / foreign policy globalization index and KOF globalization index. However, using quantitative data to capture cultural globalization is much more difficult, as it is difficult to find data that is easy to validate ideas, ideas, and fashion flow. One attempt to try this is the Cultural Globalization Index originally published by the Foreign Policy Journal, published by Randolph Kluver and Wayne Fu in 2004.
