"Different from the Eyes of Others": Negotiating Faith in a Non-denominational Educational System

Abstract [en]

The chapter examines belonging in relation to religious difference in the Swedish educational system. It departs from the stories young Muslims tell of the everyday intersections between religion and schooling. The results show that although the educational system includes religious subjects on a formal level, the young people feel that, as practicing Muslims, they are associated with undesired qualities and excluded from “Swedishness” proper. Moreover, at schools designated as secular spaces and marked by post-Protestant sensibilities, religious bodies become visible and even out of place. The young people call for a recognition of their Muslim identities as desirable and a resource for learning. The article discusses the young people’s strategies and how they manage themselves in accordance with the symbolic boundaries of belonging.
