Research has shown that Muslims face widespread discrimination and hostility in Western countries, but less is known about how they resist and challenge such behavior. Through in-depth interviews with young Muslims in Norway, this study found that they use a repertoire of everyday resistance strategies to counter anti-Muslim hostility, which can help them avoid victimization, protect their religious identities, and ease their daily lives. Increased attention to narrative resistance in studies of everyday resistance can provide a better understanding of how marginalized groups cope with stigma.
Research has shown widespread discrimination and hostility toward Muslims in Western countries. There is less knowledge of how Muslims resist, oppose, or challenge such behaviour. Based on in-depth interviews with 90 young Muslims in Norway, this study explores responses to anti-Muslim hostility. We describe a repertoire of everyday resistance: talking back, entering dialogue, living the example, denying significance, and talking down. The first three forms occur in face-to-face encounters while the latter two are retrospect sense-making of negative experiences. We conceptualise these responses as everyday resistance because they entail ways of actively countering anti-Muslim hostility, as opposed to passively accepting or adapting to it. This repertoire of everyday resistance can make it easier to avoid victimisation, protect religious identities, and ease the daily lives of young Muslims. Increased attention to narrative resistance in studies of everyday resistance will provide a better understanding of the many ways in which marginalised groups cope, resist, and struggle with their stigma.
