Secularism and Identity

Explore the intricate relationship between secularism and identity with "Secularism and Identity" by Reza Gholami, published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2015. This compelling hardback edition spans 244 pages and delves into the evolving notions of identity among the Iranian diaspora in the UK. Drawing on rich ethnographic data and detailed interviews, Gholami examines how a unique perspective on secularism, termed 'non-Islamiosity,' influences community dynamics and personal identities within this culture. The book offers insightful analysis into how these practices help shape not only the diasporic community but also inform broader social interactions. Ideal for those interested in sociology, cultural studies, and the complex narratives of assimilation, this work is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the nuances of identity in diverse social landscapes.
