They critique the model of reasonable accommodation, which has been lauded internationally for acknowledging and accommodating religious and cultural differences. The authors suggest that it disempowers religious minorities by implicitly privileging Christianity and by placing the onus on minorities to make requests for accommodation. The interviewees show that informal negotiation occurs all the time; scholars, however, have not been paying attention. This book advances a new model for studying the navigation and negotiation of religion in the public sphere and presents an alternative picture of how religious difference is woven into the fabric of Canadian society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Figures That Haunt the Everyday\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Knowledge Production and Muslim Canadians' Historical Trajectories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Secularism in Canada\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Narratives of Navigation and Negotiation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Mutual Respect and Working Out Difference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; References; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531071844632,"sku":"9780774838290","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/beyond-accommodation-everyday-narratives-of-muslim-canadians-paperback-softback-9780774838290","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
