A new volume in the DHMIR series looking at the increasingly narrower conception of citizenship when it comes to Muslims, in Germany.
Making a series of bold recommendations, this report is aimed at policy makers and those interested in tackling social inequality and injustice.
The authors argue that Germany is uniquely poised in Europe to lead other nations in good practice or bad. The current situation is veering dangerously to the bad – with laws, policies and public rhetoric all imbued with and reproducing Islamophobic narrative and practice.
Alongside analysis, the research sets out a comprehensive set of recommendations looking at media, policing, political narrative, citizenship laws, employment, education and many other aspects of the German state. It also presents fieldwork and statistics based on the DHMIR survey of the experiences of Muslims in Germany.
