Muslims in America comprise a microcosm of the diversity of cultures, ethnicities, traditions, and practices that constitutes the global Muslim community.They participate in a multiplicity of adaptive processes to engage with the American context in which they are situated.Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in summer 2003, I explore how volunteerism among Nizari Ismailis and other Muslims in Houston, TX provides a lens to examine how they negotiate pluralism within their communities and in American society, and how they manage the intersection of religion, politics, and service in America
