- Summary:
- "With this book, Tahseen Shams is the first to theorize the idea of elsewhere, and in so doing fills a major gap in migration literature. Taking Islam as a lens through which to study connections between migrants from different homelands, she finds that many South Asian Muslim Americans engage in political and social activities that aim to bring changes to Middle Eastern "elsewhere." Moreover, they evaluate mainstream U.S. politics based on American politicians' positions on Muslim-related issues "elsewhere." Elsewhere introduces new questions for understanding any migrant community's political participation and sense of belonging"-- Provided by publisher.
