Book Synopsis In recent years, controversial issues related to religion or belief, discrimination, equality and human rights have come to the fore, especially in the context of public debates around multiculturalism following the 'social policy shock' created by the impact of violent religious extremism. For example should there be restrictions on what people can wear in the work place based on their religious identity? Should religious organizations be exempt from aspects of equalities legislation which are not in line with their beliefs and values? How should non-religious identities be recognized? In the context of increasing cultural and religion or belief diversity, it is vitally important for the future to understand the nature and extent of discrimination and unfair treatment on the grounds of religion or belief, and to assess the adequacy of policies, practices and laws designed to tackle this. This includes the overlap of religion or belief identities with other aspects of people's identity including characteristics such as age, disability, race, sex and sexual orientation which can also be legally protected. This volume is a benchmark publication on religion, discrimination and equality. It includes data and insights derived from the fieldwork, focus groups and questionnaire survey of a recent national research project in Britain. Its analysis presents a unique insight into continuity and change in people's reported experience over a decade of equalities legislation and political and social change of unfair treatment on the basis of religion or belief. Grounded in empirical and contextualized data, its findings are placed in the context of European and international human rights law. Its findings will be of special interest to both scholars and practitioners working in the specific fields of education, employment, the media, criminal justice and immigration, housing, health care, social services, and funding, as well as in the broader fields of religion or belief, the law and public policy. Review Quotes "Religion or Belief, Discrimination and Equality: Britain in Global Contexts is an excellent resource for students and scholars interested in the social, political and legal phenomena that inform intellectual debates, inspire policy changes and shape public discourse. It is also sure to be appreciated by policy-makers, journalists and lawyers who want a coherent, jargon-free account of the data and issues that create the controversies that come across their desks every day. Written in a lucid, accessible manner, the authors have struck a remarkable balance between empirical data, social theory, historical context and personal perspectives related to the legal, cultural and political quandaries that face many contemporary liberal democracies." --Paul Bramadat, Director, Centre for Studies in Religion and Society, University of Victoria, Canada "Religion or Belief, Discrimination and Equality is a very important contribution to current debates about religion in the public sphere. Its strengths lie in the mass of fieldwork data that lie behind it, and the way it sets this data within a context and relates it to contemporary debates. The book provides a wealth of important data in an accessible and contextualized form, directly supports teaching in a number of areas, and is a useful reference tool for both scholars and students, which will no doubt help feed into debates in the public sphere on these issues." --Paul Hedges, Senior Lecturer in Theology & Religious Studies, University of Winchester, UK "Religion or Belief, Discrimination and Equality: Britain in Global Contexts provides a comprehensive review of the contemporary context of religion and belief equality. It charts the development of the legal protection against religious discrimination and provides significant new and rich data on religion or belief discrimination in key sectors of social life. In its conclusions it provides valuable insights for policy-makers and equality practitioners. The book makes a considerable contribution to the growing literature on law and religion and should be essential reading for anyone interested in a better understanding of the state of religious equality and diversity in the UK today." --Lucy Vickers, Professor of Law, Oxford Brookes University, UK "This book makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the nature of religion or belief discrimination in Britain today. It is particularly useful to be able to compare the experiences of different religion or belief groups and to see the extent to which these have changed since the authors' previous analysis in the early 2000s." --David Perfect, Equality and Human Rights Commission, UK "This publication offers a thorough 360° view of religion and belief discrimination in Britain while at the same time contextualizing the British situation inside of a global context. It is a highly valuable resource for learners, practitioners and policy-makers trying to tackle some of the very difficult issues which we face today." --Robin Sclafani, Director of CEJI - A Jewish Contribution to an Inclusive Europe, Brussels, Belgium "This comprehensive work, grounded in sound empirical research, opens a wide window onto the complex interrelations of religions and belief systems with policies and practices aimed at promoting equality and ameliorating discrimination. In an age of increasing diversity of personal and communal identities, including religious, the issue of maintaining communal cohesion that yet allows individual freedoms is critical. It is of the essence of the genuinely secular society that is premised on allowing for all sorts of diversities in a context of mutual respect and equal treatment before the Law. To echo the books concluding sentence, the evidence and analysis presented by the authors provides important and needful insight for policy-makers and practitioners concerned with the betterment of contemporary society. The findings and discussions contained in this volume are of crucial significance for Britain and beyond." --Prof. Douglas Pratt, University of Waikato, New Zealand and the University of Bern, Switzerland "Paul Weller and his team have produced a magnificent report for our time, when religion and belief are of ever-increasing importance in public life. Their analysis of the current UK contexts: legal, religious and political, is comprehensive and nuanced in its recognition of the complexity of the UK context itself. The report is both timely and pertinent, in setting an agenda across the whole range of public policy in UK: not for radical change, nor for new law, but for steady adaptation of policy and practice to reflect the local realities of our variegated religious landscape. In Europe, the report deserves the widest possible circulation: as the first comprehensive national report on the religion and belief context from an equalities perspective, its methodology and approach should serve as a model for similar work in countries across Europe." --Alan Murray, President, European Network on Religion and Belief About the Author Paul Weller is Professor of Inter-Religious Relations at the University of Derby and Visiting Fellow in the Oxford Centre for Christianity and Culture at Regent's Park College, University of Oxford, UK.

Description of Vintage Ainu Robe, Long, Grey with Yellow and White Embroidery Description ABOUT THE BRAND We are honored to share the beauty and important history of these traditional Ainu Robes with you! Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, mainly reside in Hokkaido (the Northern island of Japan) , and some parts of the Kuril Islands, and Sakhalin. It was only 15 years ago that the Ainu finally gained Japanese parliamentary recognition as a people with a "distinct language, religion, and culture." The long history of oppression and continued discrimination against the Ainu people has led to the diminishment of Ainu tradition and culture. With less than 20,000 Ainu people living in Hokkaido, the work to keep this culture alive has become a severe priority for this community.  In the Ainu community, these robes function as protection not only from nature and weather but also to prevent evil spirits from entering the body - trapping them within the intricate maze-like designs embroidered on their attire. Historically, Ainu wove their cloth from fiber derived of tree bark - using the earth as a primary resource for their textiles. We hope to further bring recognition to this vibrant culture and their incredible textile work with this collection of Ainu Robes from Hokkaido, Japan. In order to further support this community we have vowed to donate 10% of our makings from these robes to the Ainu Association of Hokkaido here. To find more information about this indigenous community of Japan, please read our blog post here.  These Ainu Robes were made in the 1970s as traditional festival wear. Using bright and vibrant colors, these robes depart from the traditional, subtle colors that were normally used, showing the inspiration from other cultures at the time.  Learn more about the Ainu culture here. Carefully selected and imported from Japan.
