Annotated Legal Documents on Islam in Europe: Spain
Series: - Annotated Legal Documents on Islam in Europe, Volume: 23
This volume of Annotated Legal Documents on Islam in Europe covers Spain and consists of an annotated collection of legal documents affecting the status of Islam and Muslims. The legal texts are published in the original Spanish language while the annotations and supporting material are in English. By legal documents are meant the texts of legislation, including relevant secondary legislation, as well as significant court decisions. Each legal text is preceded by an introduction describing the historical, political and legal circumstances of its adoption, plus a short paragraph summarising its content. The focus of the collection is on the religious dimensions of being Muslim in Europe, i.e. on individuals' access to practise their religious obligations and on the ability to organise and manifest their religious life.
Juan Ferreiro, Ph.D. (1995), is Professor of Law and Religion at the University of Oviedo in the Department of Basic Legal Sciences. He has published many articles and seven books, among them Islam and State in the European Union (Peter Lang 2011).
Jordi Moreras, Ph.D. (2009), Universitat Rovira i Virgili, is Serra Húnter Fellow at the Department of Social Anthropology at that university. His latest work is Identidades a la intemperie: Una mirada antropológica a los procesos de radicalización en Europa (Bellaterra, 2018).
