To browse Academia. This volume examines the theoretical and practical questions concerning the evolving role of imams in Europe.
To what extent do imams act as intermediaries between European states and Muslim communities? Do states subsidise imam training?

How does institutionalisation of Islam differ between European states? This chapter examines the various religious trends in European Islam by identifying examples of leadership and highlighting areas where trends interact to construct a training agenda for imams. It highlights the schematized training spaces that intellectually nourish the individual beliefs of particular citizens of Muslim faith, who are considered sources of future Muslim discursive practices.
These discursive practices, in turn, can be considered tools for future religious leaders who seek to reconstruct the dominant Islamic discourse in Europe. Several major intertwining elements are studied in this chapter: mosques, imams, space and identity dynamics, actors of Islam and the construction of leadership, the formation of authority in European Islam, and the training of imams in Europe.
It is called 'Imams in Western Europe. Developments, Transformations and Institutional Challenges'. It contains more than 20 chapters describing the position and role of imams in Western Europe from different -theoretical- perspectives and it includes several chapters with case studies on France, Spain, Finland, the United Kingdom and other countries.
