Abstract
“Hope, Interrupted: The East London Mosque and the Metropolis” focuses on the relationship of this mosque to the metropolis, situating it in the economically underprivileged borough of Tower Hamlets in London’s East End. It connects contemporary cultural and socioeconomic struggles to the history of the neighborhood as a place of large-scale Jewish settlement in the 19thcentury, once seen as polluting the city, to explore more broadly how place today interacts with piety in a neighborhood long home to marginalized migrant/minority populaces. In its relations with the metropolis, this community again reflects a form of autopoiesis, making itself apart from the constraints imposed by the mainstream. And in a city district where extreme deprivation abuts wealth, the economic precarity and suffering of mosque constituents becomes celebrated as evidence of salvation in an expression of its messianic vision, as found in strands of Sufism and in Hermann Cohen’s writings. Policing, deepened through the national Prevent strategy, again emerges as an inextricable facet of mosque life in the metropolis, as the intimacy of terror shapes the everyday lives of Muslims, including those who work for the city government.
