This article discusses the relationship between national, ethnic and religious identities as embodied by so-called ethnic Danes who convert to Islam. The point of departure is the constructed polarisation between Islam and the West. The article explores how converts experience their apparently contradictory identities as 'Danish' and 'Muslim'. Identity is dealt with as processes of both difference and similarity, whereby the constructions of 'self' as 'same' and 'other' as 'different' are questioned. In exploring the space between 'self' and 'other' among Danish converts, it is argued that they negotiate their identities as both Danish and Muslims by engaging in an ideological struggle over otherwise commonsense meanings. This process opens a space for re-making identity by connecting relations between these identities, which are otherwise perceived as having nothing in common. |
