Understanding Muslim Political Life in America brings clarity to the social, religious, and political dynamics that this diverse religious community faces.\n\nIn this timely volume, leading scholars cover a variety of topics assessing the Muslim American experience in the post-9/11 and pre-Trump era, including law enforcement; identity labels used in Muslim surveys; the role of gender relation.
