| Title |
Zero Tolerance?: Sikh Swords, School Safety, and Secularism in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
Examines the controversial debate over the right of Sikh students in Quebec to carry “kirpāns” (ceremonial daggers) to public schools as markers of religious identity. The author documents the ways in which conflicting conceptions of secularism influenced how various non-Sikh participants in the debate responded to Sikh presentations of the kirpāns. She also demonstrates how Sikh activists selectively engaged the competing discourses on secularism in ways that furthered their interests.
