Religious Diversity in Australia

<b>This book documents the structure of religious diversity in Australia and examines</b><b>this diversity in the context of the law migration education policing the media and</b><b>interfaith communities.</b><br/><br/>Focusing on Melbourne and Tasmania it articulates the benefits and opportunities of diversity alongside the challenges that confront religious and ethnic minorities including discrimination and structural inequalities generated by Christian and other<br/>forms of privilege. It articulates constructive strategies that are deployed including<br/>encouraging forms of belonging structured ways of negotiating disagreement and respectful engagement with difference.<br/><br/>While scholars across the West are increasingly attuned to the problems and promises of growing religious diversity in a global age in-depth empirical research on the consequences of that diversity in Australia is lacking. This book provides a rich well-researched and timely intervention.
