Islamic studies

Series: 101 Collection

"Le besoin de mieux comprendre l'identite, l'integration, la citoyennete, l'appartenance et la loyaute musulmanes en Occident n'a jamais ete aussi grand. Ce petit livre aborde les grandes problematiques portant sur les musulmans canadiens. Qui sont les musulmans canadiens ? Que faut-il pour qu'un pays soit une terre d'accueil saine et accueillante ? Ces questions sont abordees dans la premiere section. Qu'est-ce que l'identite musulmane canadienne ? Cette section offre des pistes de reponses aux difficiles questions entourant l'interaction entre les identites religieuse et nationale. Sont-elles contradictoires ou complementaires ? Comment se compare le modele canadien d'integration ? Deux modeles tres differents sont presentes a titre de comparaisons : le modele d'assimilation a la francaise, et l'approche bosnienne d'exclusion. Qu'est-ce que la "" citoyennete "" d'un point de vue islamique ? La derniere section explore les principes formateurs de l'Islam - le Coran et la sunna (tradition prophetique) a l'ere de la mondialisation. L'histoire de l'Islam, y compris son histoire contemporaine jettent un eclairage interessant sur la question. Fonde sur la comprehension accrue et le respect, ce petit livre contribue de maniere positive au debat actuel sur la place des musulmans canadiens et de l'Islam au Canada. Voici le titre inaugural de la Collection 101, une serie de breves introductions, en 101 pages, aux grands debats de societe.

Ce livre est publie en anglais.-Islam in the West: Beyond Integration offers an overview and a profile of Muslims living in the West, their identity, integration and citizenship. The book tries to answer some hard questions surrounding the interplay between religious and national identities, and how these two types of identities negotiate their place in the hearts of Western Muslims. Case studies cover constructive integration in Canada, assimilation in France and the exclusionist approach in Bosnia. Some answers to the questions on citizenship are presented from an Islamic perspective, taking into account Islamic formative principles - the Qur'an and Sunnah (the Prophetic tradition) - as theypertain to the globalized world of today. This includes an examination of historical perspectives found in the scholarly discourses on citizenship unearthed from early Muslim history as well as from contemporary times. These issues are analyzed through the prism of a religiously pluralistic and culturally diverse society.

This book is published in English."
