    Islam and Muslim Cultures in Quebec French-language Textbooks over Three Periods: 1980s, 1990s, and the Present Day
    (New York: Berghahn, 2014-01-03) Oueslati, Béchir; Mc Andrew, Marie; Helly, Denise
    This article examines the evolution of the representation of Islam and Muslim cultures in textbooks in Quebec. Results indicate significant improvements in the new secondary school history textbooks both quantitatively (for they contain more information about pillars, key concepts, and relations with Christianity and Judaism) and qualitatively (on account of their depth, fewer negative views than in the 1980s, and fewer factual errors than in the 1990s). The positive role played by Muslim scientists in preserving old knowledge and enriching it is also recognized. However, textbooks still view Islam as a religion of submission, proscriptions and forced conversion, and fail to recognize diversity within Islam and Muslim cultures.

    The Reduction of Islam and Muslims in Ontario's Social Studies Textbooks
    (New York: Berghahn, 2014-01-04) Mehrunnisa, Ahmad Ali; Mc Andrew, Marie; Oueslati, Bechír; Quirke, Lisa; Salem, Nashwa
    Representations of Islam in Ontario’s social studies textbooks portray a dehistoricized view of a religion that is disconnected from other monotheistic religions. The varied and complex socio-political and ideological locations of Muslims in historical and current contexts are reduced to simplistic, often negative representations, either as irrational aggressors or victims of poverty and underdevelopment. More nuanced, historically grounded, and multifaceted representations are called for, in order to both reflect and promote a more inclusive society in Ontario.
