The Political Psychology of Globalization

In an increasingly globalized world, there are new economic, strategic, cultural, and political forces at work. IThe Political Psychology of Globalization: Muslims in the West/I explores how these shifts and shocks have influenced the way in which Muslim minorities in six western countries form their identities as political actors. The authors uncover three identity strategies adopted by Muslims in the West: retreatism, essentialism, and engagement.
