商品簡介
Eighteen papers explore the ways in which different forms of Islamic education are conceived and structured within and in relation to secular states. The modes of Islamic education investigated include the tradition of scholarly training; academic inquiry at all levels of public and private education; and as a means of transmitting doctrine and practice to children, either by family members or by teachers in religious community centers or places of worship. The sites investigated include North American and Western European countries with long-established approaches to secularism and growing Muslim immigrant populations, as well as post-communist Eastern European and Central Asian countries where the status of secularism is complicated "by leftover attitudes toward religion, past Islamic educational traditions, and ethnic and political power struggles."
