Abstract [en]

The chapter describes how Anwar, the principal of a Muslim-profiled independent primary school, is negotiating and working to change the cultural meanings that define what is regarded as civil and anti-civil. The results show that Anwar’s narrative of strengthening children’s Muslim cultural and religious identities through schooling stands in stark contrast to core groups’ narratives on the Swedish school system. Occasionally, Anwar manages to link his urgent matters to core narratives and symbols. Thus, the analysis demonstrates that the line between being constructed as civil and anti-civil is very fine. In this context, the negative or positive outcome of Anwar’s social performances is determined by his ability to merge meaning systems and narratives “into chains of already powerful symbols”.
