Winner of Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA)'s
inaugural PESA Book Awards in 2015, and The University of Hong Kong
Research Output Prize for Education 2014-15. Muslims and Islam in
U.S. Education explores the complex interface that exists between
U.S. school curriculum, teaching practice about religion in public
schools, societal and teacher attitudes toward Islam and Muslims,
and multiculturalism as a framework for meeting the needs of
minority group students. It presents multiculturalism as a concept
that needs to be rethought and reformulated in the interest of
creating a more democratic, inclusive, and informed society.Islam
is an under-considered religion in American education, due in part
to the fact that Muslims represent a very small minority of the
population today (less than 1%). However, this group faces a
crucial challenge of representation in United States society as a
whole, as well as in its schools. Muslims in the United States are
impacted by ignorance that news and opinion polls have demonstrated
is widespread among the public in the last few decades. U.S.
citizens who do not have a balanced, fair and accurate view of
Islam can make a variety of decisions in the voting booth, in job
hiring, and within their small-scale but important personal
networks and spheres of influence, that make a very negative impact
on Muslims in the United States. This book presents new information
that has implications for curricula, religious education, and
multicultural education today, examining the unique case of Islam
in U.S. education over the last 20 years. Chapters include:
Perspectives on Multicultural Education 9/11, the Media, and the
New Need to Know Islam and Muslims in Public Schools Blazing a Path
for Intercultural Education This book is an essential resource for
professors, researchers, and teachers of social studies,
particularly those involved with multicultural issues, critical and
sociocultural analysis of education and schools; as well as
interdisciplinary scholars and students in anthropology and
education.
