- Double-weighted statement
- This double-weighted output is a book with Princeton University Press, based on considerable anthropological fieldwork. It explores the self-understanding and experiences of German converts to Islam. Building up the trust relations for such research requires considerable investment of time. The author spent more than 3.5 years in the field, conducting more than 80 interviews, plus lengthy periods of participant observation in classrooms and extensive note-taking. Empirical research for the project ran from 2006 to 2013. The resulting study offers a unique insight into a significant contemporary European minority, as revealing about ideas of German nationhood as about Islam.
