- Abstract
- European Islam has provided the source of ever more varied research since the early 1980’s, following a wave of immigration and the emergence of Muslim communities at the heart of multiple socio-economic, political and cultural transformations of European societies. The available literature sheds light on the structural trajectories of various communities, in light of their national and European political and juridical contexts, allowing us to retrace the evolution of the role and forms of religiosity revindicated by these male and female European citizens. All spheres of activities taken together, we furnish a panorama of the major lines of influence of the militant investments of European Muslims which we present in parallel with the symbolic construction of the system of Islam in both imaginaries and European social spaces. The identification of certain logics of action and specificities of Muslim mobilizations and revindications in Europe allow us to grasp the particularities of these militant engagements, variable in time and dependent on contexts.
