This book explores the position of Muslim schools in contemporary
Britain. A Critical Race Theory approach is used to consider some
of the specific issues faced by Muslim schools, in particular those
looking to become state-funded. The book provides a critically
considered and meaningful application of a theory of 'race' to
Muslims as a religious community, without restricting the analysis
to minority ethnic Muslim groups; it also provides a
counter-narrative which contests assumptions about Muslim schools
presented in the media and in public debates more generally. These
insights are positioned against current political climates within
which Muslims have been consistently subjected to surveillance and
suspicion. The book draws on first-hand research carried out inside
Muslim schools to offer insights into the ways that these schools
cater to diverse and locally-specific needs. It concludes by
arguing that independent Islamic schools represent ideal models of
community need. Therefore, bringing such schools into the state
sector, in a way that allows them to retain autonomy, represents an
ideal strategy for the educational and political enfranchisement of
British Muslims. Muslim schooling represents an opportunity for
increased state investment in Muslim interests as a strategy for
offsetting the ways in which Muslim communities have been
marginalised more generally in contemporary political climates. The
book will make compelling reading for students and researchers in
the fields of Education, Sociology, and Religious Studies,
particularly those with an interest in faith schools, Islam, and
Critical Race Theory.
