The scholarly essays address both discourses about and lived experiences of minorities in contemporary French, German and UK cities.

This volume shows that Middle Eastern and North African pasts and presents weigh on European realities, examines how the pull of Jewish intellectual history is felt by a new generation of Muslim scholars and activists, and uncovers how Orthodox communities negotiate living side by side.
