Only in 1878, however, did many of them become formal citizens of European states. This book shows how this massive shift in citizenship rights transformed both Muslims' daily lives and European laws and societies. Starting with the Treaty of Berlin and ending with the eradication of the Shari'a legal system in Communist Yugoslavia, this book centers Muslim voices and perspectives in an analysis of the twists and turns of nineteenth- and twentieth-century European history, from early nation-building projects to the shattering of the European imperial order after World War I, through the interwar political experiments of liberal democracy and authoritarianism, and into the Second World War, when Muslims, like other Europeans, were caught between occupation and civil conflict, and the ideological programs of fascism and communism. Its focus moves from "Ottoman Europe" in the late nineteenth century to Yugoslavia, a multi-confessional, multi-lingual state founded after World War I. Throughout these decades, Muslims negotiated with state authorities over the boundaries of Islamic law, the nature of religious freedom, and the meaning of minority rights. As they did so, Muslims helped to shape emergent political, social, and legal projects in Europe. -- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages [263]-335) and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 27, 2021) Subject Muslims -- Europe -- History -- 20th century Muslims -- Europe -- History -- 19th century Muslims -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Europe Muslims -- Civil rights -- Europe Freedom of religion -- Europe -- History Religion and politics -- Europe -- History Freedom of religion Muslims Muslims -- Civil rights Muslims -- Legal status, laws, etc. Religion and politics Europe Genre/Form History Form Electronic book LC no. 2021030381 ISBN 9780197538838 0197538835 9780197538821 0197538827 9780197538814 0197538819
