Islam andEducationMAJOR THEMES IN EDUCATION

Edited and with a new introduction by Tahir Abbas, University ofBirmingham, UK

The study of Islam and Muslim minorities has shifted in recent years frombeing mainly an academic fringe interest to a central concern of governments,with issues of theology, migration, development, identity, and economic andpolitical ideology all important considerations in understanding the essentialissues impacting on Muslims and the nature of Muslim-non-Muslim relations.

Education is often the only route to social mobility in Western Europeanliberal democratic contexts. Education is also conditioned by issues of class, theeffects of schools, the education of parents and wider societal issues affected byglobalisation and the internationalisation of capital and labour, namely therole of labour markets. In Muslim majority lands, education suffers from acuteunder-investment, gender inequality and the lack of an appropriate socialinfrastructure to support intellectual, moral, ethical and cultural development.

Classical Islamic education is explored, analysing the impact of the classicalIslamic period in history and the developments in education which haveemanated from it. With focuses on education in Muslim Asia, Africa and theMiddle East, capturing the essential issues in each of the countries studied, andhow they vary across a vast region, the impact of culture and modernisation ontraditional societies as well as the ways in which westernised modes ofeducation are introduced, and the aspirations of youth are in turn determined.The education of Muslims in North America and Europe, minorities inadvanced liberal secular democratic nation-states, are also studied, wherematters of identity, culture, gender, social class, the effects of educationalinstitutions and the wider societal context in which these social forces areplayed are all important.

Fully indexed and with a comprehensive introduction newly written by theeditor, Islam and Education is an essential work of reference that is destined tobe valued by scholars and students—as well as policy-makers andpractitioners—as a vital one-stop research resource.
