The aim of the website is multi-fold. First, it will present the project its ramifications and objectives. Second, it will present the team members and their activity within the assignment. Third, the website will make available to the wider public the project schedule: events, workshops and conferences , publications as well as upcoming presentations.
The project will investigate the interwar history of Muslim religious, political and cultural engagement with and within the European context in addition to the various developed images of Europe. Our intention is to fill in the existing gaps and rarely explored perspectives on Islamic movements in the early 20th century. It will serve as a historical instrument in understanding the roots of the present modern Islamist trends in Islam that trace their legacy in that period. (More Info.)
