Minorities

With the seismic changes in society, with the rise of autocracies and right-wing and populist movements, minority groups are under increasing domestic and foreign threats. This makes the study of minorities more important than ever. Minorities - New Challenges and Horizons provides a novel and timely coverage of minorities from a comparative perspective. The edited book is divided into four discrete but interrelated subjects. The first section introduces the audience to the study of minorities, their discrimination, and strategies for overcoming that stigmatization. The second section examines the significant issue of minority representation in education. The third section examines the minority group of Muslims with a special focus on the nation-state of India. The fourth section offers new horizons for ways to improve minority's plight. This edited volume is a must-read for students and scholars of minority studies, education, and Islamophobia.
