Abstract
Special Issue: Is There a Peripheral Islam in Europe? Challenges and Perspectives from Southern Italy, edited by Chiara Cascino and Nicola Di Mauro

Studi Magrebini. North African Studies is a peer-reviewed international scholarly journal, which has been published since 1966. The areas of interest of the magazine range from history, religion, law, and literatures to epigraphy, philosophy, philology, art, archaeology, and economics. It welcomes synchronic and diachronic perspectives, beginning from the historical origin of North Africa to the present day.
This special issue contributes to the transnational debate on Islam in Europe by focusing on Southern Italy, frequently conceived as a marginal or peripheral space within both national and European frameworks. Instead, Southern Italy is here approached as a privileged site from which to reconsider and problematize the very categories of center and periphery. Rather than reproducing established hierarchies of visibility and importance, the contributions collected in this special issue propose to read the South as an epistemic and analytical vantage point from which the polycentric nature of contemporary Islam in Europe can be more fully appreciated.
