The lives of migrant Muslim women in divided, post-conflict Northern Ireland, both before and after the pandemic, are full of diverse stories and experiences of belonging. This book explores how women strive to belong and create a home despite pervasive hatred, sexism and racism. Under these circumstances, women employ various strategies to connect with people and places around them. Using personal stories, this book considers the relationships migrant Muslim women develop, the places they spend time and the activities they engage with. These stories are used to demonstrate the interconnectedness of gender, visibility, movement and placemaking as analytical concepts.
