Title: Doctoral Dissertation Research: State-Muslim Relations and Working-Class ValuesPrincipal Investigator: Michael BurawoyCo-Principal Investigator: Zehra ParvezInstitution: University of California at Berkeley This dissertation is a comparative ethnographic study of the politics of Muslim minority communities in Lyon, France and Hyderabad, India. France and India are both secular democracies that have been challenged by religious policy demands by Muslims, who comprise their largest minority populations. Both countries have experienced a growth in Islamization and have had episodes of violent civil conflict involving poor Muslim areas. There are two central questions: (1) How does the experience of socioeconomic dislocation shape the religiosity and politics of Muslim communities? (2) What is the relationship between the politicization of Islam and growing religiosity in civil society? Five hypotheses will be examined: (1) Islamization has grown in part as a way to preserve honor and culture in the face of discrimination and barriers to immigrant assimilation; (2) Neighborhood mosques provide an important space for social life and respite from cramped living conditions; (3) The transnational import of Salafist forms of Islam is tied to migration; (4) Stricter forms of Islam provide a moral and temporal framework for the poor; and (5) The growth of Islamization is a response to a context of state hostility, surveillance, and retrenchment. The primary methodology is participant observation at three sites in two neighborhoods in each city: Islamic schools, neighborhood mosques, and Islamic welfare associations. The ethnographic component will be supplemented by a total of 50 semi-structured interviews; media analysis of literature catering to Muslim minorities in these countries; and archival research to place findings in their historical contexts. The project will expand knowledge about the relationship between domestic conflict and transnational Islamism, an issue of heightened interest after 9/11. It will also show how the vexed relationship between minority Muslims and the state takes on religious overtones, when in fact it may be more entangled with issues of distribution in the context of poverty or attempts at multicultural recognition. It has the potential to add clarity to several debates in the social sciences, including: the relationship between class and religious movements; the nature of emerging social movements in response to globalization; theories of the public sphere; and the relationship between the state and civil society. Finally, broader impacts of the research include enhancing public understanding of underrepresented and misrepresented groups, specifically poor, religious, Muslim communities, including their diverse politics, complex forms of piety, and oft-misunderstood gender dynamics. The result will be a more refined understanding of political Islam as a growing force in global politics, but one that cannot be viewed or approached as monolithic.

标题：博士论文研究：国家-穆斯林关系和工人阶级价值观首席研究员：Michael Burawoy 联合首席研究员：Zehra Parvez 机构：加州大学伯克利分校 本论文是对法国里昂和法国里昂穆斯林少数民族社区政治的比较民族志研究。印度海得拉巴。 法国和印度都是世俗民主国家，都受到穆斯林宗教政策要求的挑战，穆斯林是法国和印度最大的少数民族人口。 这两个国家都经历了伊斯兰化的发展，并发生过涉及贫困穆斯林地区的暴力国内冲突。有两个核心问题：（1）社会经济混乱的经历如何塑造穆斯林社区的宗教信仰和政治？ （2）伊斯兰教的政治化与公民社会宗教信仰的增长之间有什么关系？ 将检验五个假设：（1）伊斯兰化的发展在一定程度上是作为在面对歧视和移民同化障碍时维护荣誉和文化的一种方式； (2) 邻里清真寺为社会生活和缓解拥挤的生活条件提供了重要的空间； (3) 萨拉菲派伊斯兰教形式的跨国输入与移民有关； (4) 更严格的伊斯兰教形式为穷人提供了道德和世俗框架； (5) 伊斯兰化的发展是对国家敌对、监视和紧缩背景的回应。 主要方法是在每个城市两个社区的三个地点进行参与观察：伊斯兰学校、社区清真寺和伊斯兰福利协会。 民族志部分将辅以总共 50 次半结构化访谈；对这些国家穆斯林少数民族文学的媒体分析；以及档案研究，将发现置于其历史背景中。 该项目将扩大人们对国内冲突与跨国伊斯兰主义之间关系的了解，这是 9/11 事件后人们高度关注的一个问题。 它还将展示穆斯林少数群体与国家之间的紧张关系如何带有宗教色彩，而事实上它可能更多地与贫困背景下的分配问题或多元文化承认的尝试纠缠在一起。 它有可能使社会科学中的一些争论变得更加清晰，包括：阶级与宗教运动之间的关系；应对全球化的新兴社会运动的性质；公共领域理论；以及国家与公民社会之间的关系。 最后，该研究的更广泛影响包括提高公众对代表性不足和被歪曲的群体的理解，特别是贫困、宗教、穆斯林社区，包括他们多样化的政治、复杂的虔诚形式以及经常被误解的性别动态。 其结果将是对政治伊斯兰作为全球政治中一股日益增长的力量的更精确的理解，但不能将其视为或视为铁板一块。
