About the Book

Often when a religious minority challenges mainstream customs, the phrase "reasonable accommodation" is at the centre of the ensuing debate. But what exactly is reasonable accommodation? Does it achieve its goal of integrating the rights of religious minorities with those of mainstream society – or does it emphasize inequality? Reasonable Accommodation features eight essays that seek to define the meaning of reasonable accommodation within Canada and abroad. These probing explorations touch on current hot-button topics such as women's right to wear the niqab in public, religious diversity in prisons, and accommodating sexual diversity. Woven throughout are questions and commentary about whether there really is a religious majority in Canada, how the idea of "shared values" obscures debate, and how tolerating religious differences simply isn't enough to guarantee equality. Reasonable Accommodation provides a much-needed critical assessment of this phrase and theorizes religious diversity and freedom of religion beyond the meaning of "tolerance" as it sometimes implies.

Review :
"This volume will be of great interest to members of the legal community; those who work on matters of public policy and public discourse; members of religious communities; as well as academics in the arts and social sciences. It represents a significant contribution to academic debate in several fields of study." - Leona Anderson, Department of Religious Studies, University of Regina "Presents a comprehensive overview of, and grappling with, the concept of reasonable accommodation in religiously and culturally diverse contemporary social contexts. The cross-cultural inclusion of perspectives and case studies from international contexts is especially noteworthy. It is a solid addition to the field, and it will become a much-used reference as well as course text. " - Carol B. Duncan, Department of Religion and Culture, Wilfrid Laurier University
