Islam in the School Curriculum explores the conceptualisation of
school-based Islam on two levels: as a symbolic category in English
religious education as a consequence of policy shifts, and as
pedagogic discourse at the local community level in state and
Muslim schools. Using recontextualisation theory, the author
examines the relations between educational governance, social
interests and cultural epistemology as they pertain specifically to
symbolic constructs.In the aftermath of September 11 2001, the
teaching of Islam has assumed geopolitical significance, coming
under close scrutiny internationally. Much of this attention has
been directed at madrasas in Muslim countries, yet Islam in
schooling contexts in the West has remained a blind-spot. In the
UK, heightened anxieties about 'home-grown' terrorists point to the
need for a better understanding of Islam in both state and faith
schools.Shiraz Thobani explores the role played by national and
local policies and pedagogic practices in the production of
school-based Islam in a secular, liberal context and makes an
important contribution to the sociology of the curriculum and the
study of religious education. >
