Canadian Muslims speak out, but offer few conclusions
By Tobi Nifesion for The Manitoban, January 8, 2016: This book is neither a manual, nor a dissertation, on the relevance of Islam in Canadian society. It’s a conversation intended to make the reader cognizant of the inner workings of a secularized society that struggles with its pluralistic values.
Nurjehan Aziz, a Canadian editor, reached out to eleven prominent essayists, and together they began a conversation. This conversation, which grew into a book, The Relevance of Islamic Identity in Canada: Culture, Politics, and Self (edited by Aziz), examines what it means to be a Muslim in Canada today.
The eleven contributors include Muslim writers, scholars, activists, journalists, and artists. Each contributing author was either born in or immigrated to Canada.
In diverse ways, each author relays their thoughts on a few key issues that face Canadian Muslims.
