Abstract:

This book examines the wide range of multilingual devotional performances
engaged in by young Muslims in the UK today. It evaluates the contemporary
mosque school in the UK and contrasts this with practices from the past and
with prevailing discourses (both political and other) which suggest that such
institutions are problematic. It also challenges the highly-politicised and
mediatised discourse which suggests that linguistic diversity presents a
threat to the privileging of monolingualism in the UK. Finally, it argues for
the usefulness of the term ‘ultralingual’ when analysing the multilingual
devotional language performances of these young people.
