But how do young Muslims growing up in the cities of the West really live?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRadicalized Loyalties\u003c\/em\u003e takes us beyond the rhetoric and into the housing estates on the outskirts of Paris to meet Adama, Radouane, Hassan, Tarik, Marley, and a shadowy figure whose name suddenly and brutally became known to the world at the time of the \u003ci\u003eCharlie Hebdo\u003c\/i\u003e shootings: Amédy Coulibaly. Seeing Amédy through the eyes of close friends and other young Muslim men in the neighbourhoods where they grew up, Fabien Truong uncovers a network of competing loyalties and maps the road these youths take to resolve the conflicts they face: becoming Muslim. For these young men, Islam stands, often alone, as a resource, a gateway – as if it were the last route to “escape” without betrayal and to “fight” in a meaningful and noble way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecoming Muslim does not necessarily lead to the radicalised “other”. It is more like a long-distance race, a powerful reconversion of the self that allows for introspection and change. But it can also lead to a belligerent presentation of the self that transforms a dead-end into a call to arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461329961196,"sku":"9781509519354","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509519354-radicalized-loyalties.jpg?v=1774964998","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/radicalized-loyalties-by-fabien-truong-9781509519354","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
