About

Sheema Khan was three years old when she emigrated with her family from India to Montreal. They wanted a country with a good education system and work opportunities. But mostly, they wanted to leave behind the sectarian violence between Hindus and Muslims in their Calcutta home.

Of Hockey and Hijab: Reflections of a Canadian Muslim Woman is a collection of 50-plus essays by Khan. It is obvious they started as newspaper columns — each is short and tied to new stories about terrorism, sharia law, the balance of rights between people of faith and those who do not want any signs of religion in the public square.

The short essays that form her book cover a range of topics, interweaving personal experiences of interfaith interactions and spiritual journeys as a Canadian Muslim woman with reflections on national and international political issues.
