{"product_id":"9781785523199","title":"Essays on Secularism and Multiculturalism","description":"Whether the recently settled religious minorities, Muslims, in particular, can be accommodated as religious groups in European countries has become a central political question and threatens to create long-term fault lines.  In this collection of essays, Tariq Modood argues that to grasp the nature of the problem we have to see how Muslims have become a target of a cultural racism, Islamophobia. Yet, the problem is not just one of anti-racism but of an understanding of multicultural citizenship, of how minority identities, including those formed by race, ethnicity and religion, can be incorporated into national identities so all can have a sense of belonging together. This means that the tendency amongst some to exclude religious identities from public institutions and the re-making of national identities has to be challenged. Modood suggests that this can be done in a principled yet pragmatic way by drawing on Western Europe's moderate political secularism and eschewing forms of secularism that offer religious groups a second-class citizenship.","brand":"Tariq Modood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051500618046,"sku":"9781785523199","price":1584.01,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781785523199_13c06835-618a-4eef-a3ed-ccee7bdea7ea.jpg?v=1707623514","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781785523199","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
