Many Spaniards in Spain and Latinos in the US convert to Islam. This ethnographic study (in Spanish) examines how two groups with historical, cultural, and linguistic commonalities redefine their new religious identity, not only as national groups but also as Hispanos.

Du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle, tandis que les pirates des pays barbaresques sillonnent les mers et réduisent en esclavage des milliers de captifs, autant d’Européens, abandonnant la prude et despotique Europe chrétienne, se convertissent à l’islam et ­d’aucuns rejoignent les communautés pirates. Certaines d’entre elles « abritaient des micro-sociétés vivant délibérément hors-la-loi et étaient bien déterminées à le rester, ne fût-ce que pour une vie brève, mais joyeuse » écrit Hakim Bey dans le prologue de la TAZ. Peter Lamborn Wilson revient sur ces ­utopies pirates et plus particulièrement sur l’une d’entre elles, la République de Salé, où convergèrent au xviie siècle nombre de ces Renegados, dont l’histoire semble s’être abîmée en mer avec leurs rêves de société égalitaire

This is the first systematic study of Polish women's conversion to Islam in English. Through interviews with Polish female converts to Islam and ethnographic observation, we learn about their journey to Islam in a country where Muslims constitute less than 0,5% of the population and experience daily struggles related to maintaining their national and religious identities sometimes considered to be spoiled. The analysis presented in the book illuminates different factors that shape the converts' religious lives: attempts to establish "Polish Islam" with its unique cultural flavor; a new hybrid language that includes Polish, English and Arabic elements; intersectional identities as women, Muslims, Poles, and Eastern European immigrants among those who live outside of Poland. This study offers a fascinating window into the lives of Muslims in a sociopolitical context that is considered to be on the margins of the "Muslim world."
