In this ethnographic study of four full-time Islamic schools, Jasmin Zine explores the social, pedagogical, and ideological functions of these alternative, and religiously-based educational institutions. Based on eighteen months of fieldwork and interviews with forty-nine participants, \u003cem\u003eCanadian Islamic Schools\u003c\/em\u003e provides significant insight into the role and function that Islamic schools have in Diasporic, Canadian, educational, and gender-related contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscussing issues of cultural preservation, multiculturalism, secularization, and assimiliation, Zine considers pertinent topics such as the Eurocentricism of Canada's public schools and the social reproduction of Islamic identity. She further examines the politics of piety, veiling, and gender segregation paying particular attention to the ways in which gendered identities are constructed within the practices of Islamic schools and how these narratives shape and inform the negotiation of gender roles among both boys and girls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fascinating and informative study of religious-based education, \u003cem\u003eCanadian Islamic Schools\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for educators, sociologists, as well as those interested in Immigration and Diaspora Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jasmin Zine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802098568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802098566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/30\/2009 pg. 19","brand":"Jasmin Zine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075833065727,"sku":"9780802098566","price":111.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_361e96ac-dbbd-4928-9e95-1c1cd8493ec0.jpg?v=1685461707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canadian-islamic-schools-jasmin-zine-9780802098566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
