The lives of migrant Muslim women in divided, post-conflict Northern Ireland, both before and after the pandemic, are full of diverse stories and experiences of belonging. This book explores how women strive to belong and create a home despite pervasive hatred, sexism and racism. Under these circumstances, women employ various strategies to connect with people and places around them. Using personal stories, this book considers the relationships migrant Muslim women develop, the places they spend time and the activities they engage with. These stories are used to demonstrate the interconnectedness of gender, visibility, movement and placemaking as analytical concepts.

Reviews for Life as a Migrant Muslim Woman in Sectarian Northern Ireland: An Exploration of Gender, Visibility, Movement and Placemaking

“Lubit’s meticulous attention to Migrant women’s everyday practices of resistance to systemic racism and discrimination offers an important corrective to dominant orientalist representations of powerless Muslim women in need of rescue."" • Julie Billaud, Geneva Graduate Institite “It is a rather original work … the topic and approach are innovative, focusing on the experiences of Muslim woman in Northern Ireland.” • Julius-Cezar Macarie, University College Cork “This book represents a valuable, necessary and long overdue contribution to the sociology and social anthropology of contemporary Northern Ireland.” • David O’Kane, Nelson Mandela University
