Asian Muslim Women
Globalization and Local Realities
Huma Ahmed-Ghosh
Presents multifaceted aspects of Asian Muslim womens lives and agencies.
This book resists the homogenization of Muslim women by detailing the diversity in their lives and by challenging the dominant paradigm of Arabized Islam as the sole interpreter of the faith. Though much has been written on the Middle East, there is a huge gap in research on Asia, which has two-thirds of the worlds Muslim population. These essays reveal that the lives of Muslim women are impacted not only by Islam but also by local politics, class, religion, and ethnicity. Through ethnographic research and other methodologies, the contributors describe how economic globalization, construction of sexualities, and diasporic expectations shape womens lives. The book focuses on womens negotiations and resistances to global, national, and local patriarchies in an attempt to empower themselves.
This books greatest strength is the diversity of its scope, both geographically and thematically, without reducing Muslim women to particular roles and/or identities. Bahar Davary, author of Women and the Quran: A Study in Islamic Hermeneutics
