Why is it important?
It looks at contemporary Jewish-Muslim relations through cultural production and cooperation in two metropolises (London and Paris) thus a. debunking the prominent clash of civilisations rhetoric which has so divided communities and b. allows us to move away from nationally bound perspectives showing some similarities where it is believed that the two systems--British and French--are so intrinsically different.
Perspectives
This article opens up a comparative perspective between the France and the UK and between neighbourhoods through which nationally debates about migration and identity are often articulated in particular the idea that Islam is alien to social cohesion in Europe.
