Synopsis
Re-Rooting the Uprooted. Raising a Muslim in Canada is an inside look at the Moroccan Muslim community in Quebec. The book answers the question of how Muslim values are transmitted from one generation to another in multicultural Canada. The author explores the choices and the strategies available for parents in the Moroccan community as they struggle to reconcile their children’s Muslim identity with a multicultural context. The book offers a valuable window into a community that has –so far– been inaccessible. The information included in the book will undoubtly help researchers, policy makers, and social workers design support programs which will help Muslim families settle into the Canadian multicultural context.
