The ‘integration’ or the supposed lack of it by British Muslim communities has been a constant focus for sections of politics and the media over the past decades, often with little or no evidence base. That makes a forthcoming book by the University of Huddersfield’s Dr. Shamim Miah particularly timely. Titled ‘Muslim Discourses on Integration and Schooling’, the forthcoming book published by Palgrave Macmillan will draw on empirical research amongst both Muslim school students and parents to examine discourses of ‘integration’ in the light of key policy developments around ‘race’, faith and citizenship. This book aims to contribute towards a national debate on integration, schooling and Muslim communities and to challenge stereotypes about ‘Muslim separateness’. This book would be ideal for policy analysts, think tanks, academics and students.
