Press blurb:

The turn of the twenty-first century ushered in a wave of progressive
Muslims, whose modern interpretations and practices transformed the
public’s perception of who could follow the teachings of Islam.* Muslims on
the Margins *tells the story of their even more radical descendants:
nonconformists who have reinterpreted their religion and created space for
queer, trans, and nonbinary identities within Islam.

Katrina Daly Thompson draws extensively from conversations and interviews
conducted both in person in North America and online in several
international communities. Writing in a compelling narrative style that
centers the real experiences and diverse perspectives of nonconformist
Muslims, Thompson illustrates how these radical Muslims are forming a
community dedicated to creative reinterpretations of their religion,
critical questioning of established norms, expansive inclusion of those who
are queer in various ways, and the creation of different religious
futures. *Muslims
on the Margins* is a powerful account of how Muslims are forging new
traditions and setting precedents for a more inclusive community— one that
is engaged with tradition, but not beholden to it.
