520 This book is a study of the UK-based Ahmadiyya Muslim
community in the context of the twentieth-century South
Asian diaspora. Originating in late nineteenth-century
Punjab, the Ahmadis are today a vibrant international
religious movement; they are also a group that has been
declared heretic by other Muslims and one that continues
to face persecution in Pakistan, the country the Ahmadis
made their home after the partition of India in 1947.
Structured as a series of case studies, the book focuses
on the ways in which the Ahmadis balance the demands of
faith, community and modern life in the diaspora.
Following an overview of the history and beliefs of the
Ahmadis, the chapters examine in turn the use of
ceremonial occasions to consolidate a diverse
international community; the paradoxical survival of the
enchantments of dreams and charisma within the structures
of an institutional bureaucracy; asylum claims and the
ways in which the plight of asylum seekers has been
strategically deployed to position the Ahmadis on the UK
political stage; and how the planning and building of
mosques serves to establish a home within the diaspora.
Based on fieldwork conducted over several years in a range
of formal and informal contexts, this timely book will be
of interest to an interdisciplinary audience from social
and cultural anthropology, South Asian studies, the study
of Islam and of Muslims in Europe, refugee, asylum and
diaspora studies, as well as more generally religious
studies and history.
