Description

This book draws together previously disjointed scholarship on the topic of asylum and conversion to Christianity. In particular, it shows how boundaries of belonging are negotiated between Middle Eastern ex-Muslim asylum seekers, church representatives, legal decision-makers and policymakers. Collating chapters that cover different jurisdictions and geographical areas, the book approaches the topic from a variety of disciplines, each focusing on a different aspect of the complexities of the phenomenon of asylum and conversion from Islam to Christianity. This book is an authoritative resource for academic scholars in fields as diverse as migration and refugee studies, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, law and socio-legal studies, as well as legal and religious practitioners.
