Winner of Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA)'s inaugural PESA Book Awards in 2015, and The University of Hong Kong Research Output Prize for Education 2014-15.

In both fields of multicultural education and religion in American education, Islam has been hardly considered. This book aims to fill in a gap in knowledge that has implications for curricula, religious education and multicultural education today, by examining the unique case of Islam in United States education in the last 20 years.
