Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2009.

This dissertation examines a community of Islamic private schools in the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview that have joined the American character-education movement, a socially conservative and largely Christian-backed moral education program defined in opposition to contemporary liberal models of moral education, particularly multicultural education and values-clarification. I call this convergence the "character conjuncture," and on the basis of it, explore several related questions throughout the dissertation. What defines the interface between American Muslims and the American educational landscape such that the Bridgeview Islamic private schools would appropriate this particular, and particularly inclusivist, model of moral education? How does it get used for the purposes of Muslim social reproduction? What local concept of Muslim character emerges out of this interface? And, finally, how does the local understanding of Muslim character engendered in these schools shape the experience of their graduates as they transition to the multicultural, non-Muslim world of college?

520 $a This dissertation examines a community of Islamic private schools in the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview that have joined the American character-education movement, a socially conservative and largely Christian-backed moral education program defined in opposition to contemporary liberal models of moral education, particularly multicultural education and values-clarification. I call this convergence the "character conjuncture," and on the basis of it, explore several related questions throughout the dissertation. What defines the interface between American Muslims and the American educational landscape such that the Bridgeview Islamic private schools would appropriate this particular, and particularly inclusivist, model of moral education? How does it get used for the purposes of Muslim social reproduction? What local concept of Muslim character emerges out of this interface? And, finally, how does the local understanding of Muslim character engendered in these schools shape the experience of their graduates as they transition to the multicultural, non-Muslim world of college?
520 $a These are the central questions that organize the dissertation, and by way of answering them, I argue that the Bridgeview schools offer a strategic starting point for advancing scholarship on Islam and Islamic schooling; but also for reflecting on the moral tensions and limitations internal to liberal education itself, particularly as refracted through debates between what I call postfoundational liberals (or "liberals") and traditional liberals (or "conservatives") in the American culture wars (Cassanova 1994; Hunter 1991; Rosenblaum 2000). By examining how this community of Islamic schools have sided with traditional liberals, and against the postfoundational models of values clarification and multicultural education, this dissertation announces a new evolutionary moment in Islamic schooling defined not by a "clash of civilizations" (Huntington, 1996) but by moral tensions internal to liberalism's own educational ideals, particularly as expressed through competing conceptions of moral education, moral development, and, crucially, moral autonomy. Islamic education in Bridgeview, I argue, is an expression of an Islamic variety of liberal education, albeit one that dovetails with a traditional mode of liberalism now reemerging through the Christian-backed character education movement. By way of conclusion, and on the basis of a general, cultural psychological theory of "character" developed throughout the dissertation, I argue that the Bridgeview schools, as well as their graduates, expose the assumptions and limitations of postfoundational forms of liberal education. On the basis of those limitations, and the case study of Islamic education itself, I build a case for liberal pluralism.
