PSCI 257 - Muslims and the West4 credits
A comparative analysis that draws upon Muslim experiences in the United States and Europe. While situating Muslim experiences in the broader scholarship on racial and religious minorities in western democracies, students engage with a framework that puts forward the view that the West and Islam are irreconcilable. The social, cultural, religious and political inclusion of Muslim immigrants has been contentious and these countries have adopted similar as well as divergent approaches to deal with it. The language of global war on terror in the post 9/11 period has brought many of the lingering questions regarding Muslim inclusion to the fore. Aimed not only at understanding some of the salient issues faced by Muslim communities, but also looks at the ways in which a particular set of discourses on Islam has come to define the Muslim immigrant experiences in the West.
