What is Diaspora by Design : Muslim Immigrants in Canada and Beyond about?

<p>Few groups face as many misconceptions within their new countries as do Muslim immigrants. This book challenges the common misperceptions of Muslim immigrants as a homogeneous, religiously driven group and identifies the tensions they experience within their host countries.</p> <p>A comparative, multi-ethnic study, based on over two thousand interviews, <i>Diaspora by Design</i> examines Muslim populations that have settled in Canada, Britain, Iran, and Palestine. Utilizing hard socio-economic data as well as qualitative analysis, the authors show the remarkable diversity and divisions between Muslim immigrant populations along urban-rural, cultural, class, and gender lines. They argue that integration is a two-way exchange that requires a readiness on the part of the host society to remove barriers that prevent the full social and economic participation of immigrant populations.</p> <p>Extensively researched and thoughtfully provocative, <i>Diaspora by Design</i> is a much-needed work that provides an accurate and dynamic depiction of the lives of Muslim immigrants away from their homelands.</p>
