Ph.D. Defense by Martijn de Koning
Searching for a ‘pure’ Islam. Religious Beliefs and Identity Construction among Moroccan-Dutch Youth
17 April 2008 – 17 April 2008
Venue: Aula Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, De Boelelaan 1105, Amsterdam
Time 1.45 pm

Most of the debates in the Netherlands about Islam and integration focus on Moroccan-Dutch youth. There is little research done on the ways they are religious and how they construct their Muslim identity in relation to others. In my Ph.D thesis I show how Islam has become the most important frame of reference for Moroccan-Dutch youth to reflect upon who they are and what they want to be. I will defend my Ph.D on 17 April at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. (more…)
