520    "Lone Star Muslims offers an engaging and insightful look 
       at contemporary Muslim American life in Texas. It 
       illuminates the dynamics of the Pakistani Muslim community
       in Houston, a city with one of the largest Muslim 
       populations in the south and southwestern United States. 
       Drawing on interviews and participant observation at radio
       stations, festivals, and ethnic businesses, the volume 
       explores everyday Muslim lives at the intersection of race,
       class, profession, gender, sexuality, and religious 
       sectarian affiliation to demonstrate the complexity of the
       South Asian experience. Importantly, the volume 
       incorporates narratives of gay Muslim American men of 
       Pakistani descent, countering the presumed 
       heteronormativity evident in most of the social science 
       scholarship on Muslim Americans and revealing deeply felt 
       affiliations to Islam through ritual and practice. It also
       includes narratives of members of the highly skilled Shia 
       Ismaili Muslim labor force employed in corporate America, 
       of Pakistani ethnic entrepreneurs, the working class and 
       the working poor employed in Pakistani ethnic businesses, 
       of community activists, and of radio program hosts. 
       Decentering dominant framings that flatten understandings 
       of transnational Islam and Muslim Americans, such as 
       'terrorist' on the one hand, and 'model minority' on the 
       other, Lone Star Muslims offers a glimpse into a variety 
       of lived experiences. It shows how specificities of class,
       Islamic sectarian affiliation, citizenship status, gender,
       and sexuality shape transnational identities and mediate 
       racism, marginalities, and abjection"--|cProvided by
