Summary

This book illustrates and explores the key questions for educational theory and pedagogy raised by drawing issues of religious diversity into citizenship education. The chapters address debates over the nature of citizenship in late modernity, highlighting local and global dimensions of citizenship in relation to issues of national, religious, ethnic and cultural identity. The book also covers wider issues such as state-supported faith schools and cultural diversity in relation to common citizenship.
