Hardcover. Num Pages: 268 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HRAM; HRH; JFFS; JPA; JPP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 148. .
This book offers a novel interpretation of Russian contemporary discourse on Islam and its influence on Russian state policies. It shifts the analytical perspective from the discussion about Russia's Islam as a potential security threat to a more comprehensive view of the relationships of Muslims with Russia as a state and a civilization. The work demonstrates how many Muslims increasingly express a sense of belonging to Russia and are increasingly willing to contribute to state building processes.
