This book explores the production of Muslim youth identities,
with respect to nation, religion and gender in Pakistan, Senegal,
Nigeria and Lebanon. As Muslim-majority, post-colonial states
with significant youth populations, these countries offer
critical case studies for the exploration of the different
grammars of youth identities, and ‘trouble’ the perceived
homogeneity of Muslims in local and global imaginaries. The
authors offer rigorous and detailed accounts of the local,
situated and contingent ways in which youth articulate their
identities and sense of belonging, and the book reflects on the
importance of affect, belonging and affiliation in the
construction of youth narratives of identity as well as
highlighting their political and contested nature.
