Islam in France, in the image of the Tawhid editions
Created in 1987 in the footsteps of the ‘French Union of Young Muslims’, the Tawhid publishing house was launched by second-generation Muslims who often returned to Islam. Tawhid was able to offer an alternative to books focused mainly on mysticism or sociology, as shown by M. Younès: books dealing with the fundamentals of the Islamic faith and practice were thus offered to a French-speaking Muslim public. It was therefore urgent to analyse Tawhid’s publications to see what they reveal about the life and thinking of Muslims in France.
Née en 1987 dans le sillage de l’Union des Jeunes Musulmans de France, la maison d’édition Tawhid fut lancée par des musulmans de la seconde génération souvent revenus à l’islam. Tawhid a su proposer une alternative aux ouvrages centrés surtout sur la mystique ou la sociologie comme le montre M. Younès : des ouvrages traitant des fondamentaux de la foi et de la pratique islamique ont ainsi pu être proposés à un public musulman francophone. Il était donc urgent d’analyser les publications de Tawhid pour voir ce qu’elles révèlent de la vie et de la pensée des musulmans en France.
