Why is it important?
It provides examples and explanations for how rural communities and refugee/Muslim migrants can learn to get along, and thrive together, even when there appears to be many cultural, social and religious differences.
Perspectives
This article addresses some of the most important issues of our day, learning to engage with and understand people who can be very different than ourselves. It has been a privilege to be involved with a rural community over the last three years, both long- term residents and new migrants, and for them to share their lives and experiences with me, that form the basis for this paper.
