Journal of Muslims in Europe, 2017

In The Revival of Islam in the Balkans, editors Elbasani and Roy have attempted to reconceptualize the contemporary history of Muslims in the Balkans as the ‘historical stronghold of Muslims in Europe’, an ambitious, if problematic, attempt that abstracts complex current political realities through area studies categories such as Europe/Eastern Europe/Balkans/ Middle East and a socialist/post-socialist periodization. Editorial politics, however, should not cause us to dismiss the contributions themselves, as most of the chapters provide good in-depth analysis and in- sights into the Orientalist prism through which Muslims in the Balkans have been approached in academia and media in the last three decades.
