Often when a religious minority challenges mainstream customs,
the phrase reasonable accommodation is at the centre of the ensuing
debate. But what exactly is reasonable accommodation? Does it
achieve its goal of integrating the rights of religious minorities
with those of mainstream society or does it emphasize
inequality?
"Reasonable Accommodation" features eight essays that seek to
define the meaning of reasonable accommodation within Canada and
abroad. These probing explorations touch on current hot-button
topics such as women s right to wear the niqab in public, religious
diversity in prisons, and accommodating sexual diversity. Woven
throughout are questions and commentary about whether there really
is a religious majority in Canada, how the idea of shared values
obscures debate, and how tolerating religious differences simply
isn t enough to guarantee equality. "Reasonable Accommodation"
provides a much-needed critical assessment of this phrase and
theorizes religious diversity and freedom of religion beyond the
meaning of tolerance as it sometimes implies.
