Safiya Florence Ascoli-Ball, a French British Muslim convert looks at the lives of three prominent converts in France in the late 19th – early 20th century, such as the adventurer Isabelle Eberhardt, the first Muslim member of the French Parliament, Dr Philippe Grenier and the painter Etienne Dinet; their motivations, struggles and their place in a country and a time where religions were being deliberately pushed out of the public space.
Moderated by: Karen Shannon FRSA, Chief Executive of Manchester Histories & Honorary Research Fellow, University of Manchester.
