Identity and Upbringing in South Asian Muslim Families

  • 306 Accesses

Abstract

The book has presented findings from interviews with South Asian Muslim parents and their teenage children, together with results from a questionnaire conducted in three secondary schools in London and one college in the North West of England. The aim was to shed light on two related questions: how is it to grow up as a South Asian British Muslim today and what are the experiences of South Asian Muslim parents bringing up their children in Britain? These questions do not exist in a void, but rather they are set in the wider social context that, particularly since 9/11 (but also since the London bombings, Madrid, Charlie Hebdo, and the Paris attacks in November 2015) and the advent of ISIS (Islamic State), has affected the perceptions and identity of Muslims around the world.
