The Challenges of Religious Literacy
This open access book presents religious literacy as the main explanatory factor when dealing with certain ethnic groups that attract stereotypes which gloss over other personal factors such as age, class, gender and cultural differences. It discusses freedom of religion, and the Christian revival movement. It examines religious literacy and religious diversity in multi-faith schools. It looks into the role of Mosques and Islamic divorce. Finally, it discusses the prevention of violent radicalization and extremism in Finland. Using recent data on Finnish secular society, the book promotes a new understanding which is needed with respect to popular and media portrayal of religion, or with respect to public discussion about religion. It addresses actors in civic society, public servants and higher education.

Religious Freedom, Multiculturalism, Islam
This empirical study of Muslim communities on the northern fringes of Europe is a fine example from the field comparative sociology of religion, providing thought-provoking insights into the ongoing discussion on religious minorities in a multicultural European society.
Religion in Fortress Europe
How does religion maintain or challenge discourses on national identity? What are the roles that religion plays on all sides – from Islamophobia of the radical right to the Christian alliances on both sides of the Atlantic, to the Islamic beliefs and practices of European citizens as well as migrant communities – in the constitution of Fortress Europe? Are there any alliances shaping between belief and unbelief on either side of the battle for the future of Europe? These questions and more motivate the chapters in this timely interdisciplinary collection, with contributions focusing on diverse contexts throughout Europe involving a broad range of religious identifications and actors.
Islamic Feminism
Mulki Al-Sharmani undertakes a close textual analysis of the hermeneutics of selected Islamic feminism scholars as they engage with the Qur'an, Hadith, and different textual genres in Islamic interpretive tradition. She focuses on the relevant works of nine prominent scholars located in North America, Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa. Bringing their works into conversation with one another, Islamic Feminism critically examines the epistemological and methodological contributions and challenges of these scholars. Al-Sharmani shows how these scholars' engagements with the question of gender also yields new insights into the interplay between Islamic theology, ethics, and law. Drawing on extensive multi-sited ethnographic research, Al-Sharmani examines the societal significance and limits of the studied scholarship and how it informs and is informed by multidimensional Muslim gender activism in both global and local contexts. Towards the latter aim, Al-Sharmani focuses on two case studies: the global movement Musawah, and Egyptian Islamic feminism in the aftermath of the 2011 Revolution.
Uskonto, kieli ja yhteiskunta
Discursive study of religion (DSR) has become an increasingly recognised and applied approach to the study of religion. It asks: What passes for ‘religion’ in society? How do different constructions of ‘religion’ affect other social spheres such as politics, law, and everyday life, and vice versa? In this collection, Finnish scholars—many of them internationally recognized authorities on the subject—discuss DSR’s theoretical underpinnings, map the variety of discursive approaches, and apply the approach to case studies of politics, spirituality, and history. The book can be used as a textbook for religion and method courses in various disciplines.
Kuin veljet – Totuus Suomen katujengeistä
”Jotku tekee musiikkii, jotku tekee rikoksii, jotku käy kouluu tai töis.” Poikkeuksellisen tarkkanäköinen tietokirja katujengi-ilmiöstä ja yhteiskuntamme sokeista pisteistä. Vuonna 2021 Suomessa käynnistyi keskustelu katujengeistä. Niiden välisen väkivallan pelättiin eskaloituvan reviirikiistoiksi pääkaupunkiseudulla. Poliisi varustautui, media rummutti, ja keskusteluissa varoiteltiin ”Ruotsin tiestä”. Kuin veljet kertoo, mitä Suomessa todella tapahtui tuolloin. Mitä nuorten miesten väkivallan takana on? Mistä näyttämisen halu kumpuaa? Kirjaan on haastateltu pariakymmentä poliisin katujengiläiseksi määrittelemää nuorta miestä. Heidän tarinansa piirtävät kuvan Suomesta, joka ei näyttäydy kaikille saavutettavana. Ääneen pääsevät myös heidän läheisensä, viranomaiset ja muut asiantuntijat. Anne Kantola on Helsingin Sanomien rikostoimittaja. Jecaterina Mantsinen on Suuren Journalistipalkinnon saanut STT:n rikos- ja oikeustoimittaja. Omos ”Opa” Okoh on entinen rikollinen ja huumekauppias, joka on nykyään monipuolinen luovan työn ammattilainen.
Superdiversiteetti
This book is the first Finnish-language collection of research on superdiversity. At the core of the book is the growing migration to Finland since the turn of the 1990s and its numerous effects on Finnish society. The interdisciplinary examination of superdiversity is important at the current moment: Finland as a society has reached the point where certain social categories, such as ethnic background, country of birth, mother tongue or gender, are not necessarily sufficient to understand the increased diversity and its consequences. The book consists of a comprehensive introduction to the topic and thirteen chapters. In Finland, research on superdiversity is carried out especially in critical sociolinguistics and applied language studies, education, cultural studies, social sciences, and urban studies. Therefore, these disciplines are strongly represented in the collection, and the chapters approach a variety of topics including refugees’ mental health, experiences of multilingual families, the diversity of education and working life, discursive practices in social media, issues of urban planning and pro-asylum activism.
