Abstract: | The Muslim community in postapartheid South Africa is an intriguing case study of how a religious minority has attempted to shape and transform its identity, particularly while being faced with the challenges of living in a transitioning and evolving society, as well as dealing with the unique concerns of being Muslim in a globalizing context. This paper seeks to document and engage some of these issues, focusing especially on the ways in which South African Muslims are expressing themselves politically in a postapartheid framework.
