British Muslim Politics Reviews

British Muslim Politics is an important study about a growing community in the United Kingdom that uses voices from the Pakistani diaspora. ... the book adds to our knowledge about Pakistani involvement in British politics and contains a solid analysis about the shifting political consciousness across the Pakistani generations. (Ryan Shaffer, Political Studies Review, Vol. 14 (1), February, 2016)
