Pluralism and Multiculturalism in New Zealand and Australia

Description

In Muslim Integration: Pluralism and Multiculturalism in New Zealand and Australia, contributors from a range of backgrounds investigate the state of Muslim integration in New Zealand and Australia. The growing presence of a Muslim minority has invited these two Pacific settler states to closely consider the question of Muslim integration into Western society. This collection discusses the future of religio-cultural pluralism, multicultural policies, and the growing demands for greater emphasis on assimilation. Contributors examine issues such as parallel societies, Islamophobia, radicalization, tolerance, adaptation and mutual adjustment, legal pluralism, the role of mosque architecture, and media depictions of Muslims are examined. Recommended for scholars of anthropology, religious studies, sociology, and political science.

Muslim Integration, Pluralism and Multi-culturalism in New Zealand and Australia, is an excellent academic research on the subject

The Muslim World Book Review
Kolig and Voyce have put together a stimulating set of reflections, studies, and analyses of one of today's most fraught challenges. The age of benign multiculturalism—that has subsumed real differentiation and regarded cultural and religious diversity as but a garnish to the dominant culture—is now challenged by the reality of accommodating deep diversity. How the Antipodes cope with Muslims and Islamic diversities is of significant interest, with global resonance.
