“…In this respect, Germany too faces certain concerns in the formation of anti-Muslim racism (Schiffer and Wagner 2011); in particular, after 2015, many migrants fleeing the conflict in Syria came to Germany as part of its then open policy toward these groups, but these policies have retreated to a net restriction of asylum seekers. Similar examples of the resistance toward Muslims are found in Sweden (Roald 2013) and Russia (Arnold and Romanova 2013). A study of 11 EU countries with high GDPs demonstrates that this fear is explicitly cultural-ethnic rather than economic (Lucassen and Lubbers 2012).…”

“…"State feminism" refers to a Nordic model of political inclusion where the women's movement mobilizes and makes demands, which are accommodated by the state and political elites (Skjeie, 2013). However, social movement agendas are only partially incorporated in state policy, often giving the movement little real influence and impact (Roald, 2013). Beatrice Halsaa (2013) argues that Norwegian women's organizations were not incorporated in decision-making when gender equality policy was developed in the 1970s; they were selectively consulted, but not equal partners in dialogue.…”

“…It is mainly through the media that various groups learn about each other. And since media reports often focus on that which is different and problematic as opposed to that which is familiar and recognizable, the 'we' versus 'them' narrative − i.e., the Swedish majority versus Muslim minorities − tends to be pronounced (Roald, 2013).…”

This book examines the needs, aspirations, strategies, and challenges of transnational Muslim migrants in Europe with regard to family practices such as marriage, divorce, and parenting. Critically re-conceptualizing 'wellbeing' and unpacking its multiple dimensions in the context of Muslim families, it investigates how migrants make sense of and draw on different norms, laws, and regimes of knowledge as they navigate different aspects of family relations and life in a transnational social space. With attention to issues such as registration of marriage, civil versus religious marriage, spousal roles and rights, polygamy, parenting, child wellbeing, and everyday security, the authors offer national and comparative case studies of Muslim families from different parts of the world, covering different family bonds and relations, within both extended and nuclear families. Based on empirical research in the Nordic region and further afield, this volume affords a more complete understanding of the practices of transnational migrant families, as well as the processes through which family relations and rights are negotiated between family members and with state institutions and laws, whilst contributing to the growing literature on migrant wellbeing. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and social policy with interests in migration and transnational communities, wellbeing, and the family.
