Majority versus minority: 'Governmentality' and Muslims in Sweden

Abstract

This article deals with the Muslim community in Sweden in view of the majority-minority dynamics with focus on how values, attitudes, behaviors, and practices of the Swedish majority influence Muslim minority communities and how majority society's approach to Muslims and Islam influences both the relationship Muslims have with non-Muslims and the understandings that Muslims have of Islam. © 2012 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
