Publisher Description
A crucial exploration of the lives of Muslim women in the post-9/11 world.
Once regarded as helpless victims waiting to be rescued, Muslim women are now widely viewed as a potential threat. Shakira Hussein explores this shift in attitudes and its impact on Muslim women's lives.
From volatile Afghan refugee camps to Australian suburbia, Hussein examines the challenges Muslim women face in negotiating their identities, combating Islamophobia, and balancing cultural traditions with Western expectations. This insightful analysis of feminism, multiculturalism, and security is essential for understanding the complexities of the post-9/11 world. For professionals, scholars, and general readers interested in gender studies, Islamic studies, and social justice.
