Tosta, Luciano Rana, Junaid Shahid, Hasan 2010-08-31T20:02:46Z 2010-08-31T20:02:46Z 2012-09-07T16:43:33Z 2010-08-31T20:02:46Z 2010-08 This paper will address questions of identity that male Muslim converts in São Paulo, Brazil face after adopting Islam. Specifically, it will analyze how they place their religion into notions of what it means to be Brazilian. Furthermore, this paper will show how many of these converts use Islam as a way to reconstruct their personal identities. Finally, it will argue that by becoming Muslims, they embrace a transnational religious identity. This paper will seek to show how conversion to Islam in São Paulo can significantly influence how individuals articulate notions of Brazilian national identity and belonging to the nation.
