Little Mosque on the Prairie and the Paradoxes of Cultural Translation

Kyle Conway is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Ottawa.

‘A valuable study of media and multiculturalism. Highly recommended.’- C.L. Clements (Choice Magazine vol 55:01:2017) ‘Conway provides a great deal for the scholar of religion….For those who want to understand the diversity of Muslims in North America; this offers a Canadian perspective that is often left out of the equation. We should certainly add Little Mosque on the Prairie to the list of key works on Muslims in media, television, and cinema.’- Kristen Petersen (Reading Religion – December 2017)
