Shaping Muslim Futures: Youth Visions and Activist Praxis, amplifies the counternarratives of activist Muslim youth situated in Toronto, Canada, shaping their desired futures for themselves, their families and communities. Drawing on intensive life history interviews, Shaping Muslim Futures offers a rich account of learning experiences that raised their critical awareness of the world and of their critical reflection and action upon the world to transform it.

Woven together, the voices and stories reveal what the activist Muslim youth can teach us about worldbuilding. Written for Muslim and other racialized youth, and anyone engaged in shaping futures where Muslim and other racialized youth are thriving, this (guide)book invites readers to imagine and practice living into the futures we want as though they exist in the present.
