Gendered Spaces and Translocal Connections

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through networking and globalized modes of interaction and communication, women's organizations in Muslim countries negotiate global development concepts such as human rights and gender equality, thereby differentiating and reconstructing local visions of muslim society and popularizing new gender concepts. This comparative study highlights the diversity of Islamic identities and Muslim women's concepts of development, particularly regarding gender constructs.

Rezensionen

Negotiating Development in Muslim Societies is a timely and valuable work in the field of development sociology and gender studies. This volume addresses a wide range of concerns such as the self and other in cross-cultural encounters, gendered spaces, and the ongoing reconstituting of local discourses of Islam. The volume brings together a rich comparative South-South perspective on translocal networks of NGO's and international organizations and how travelling ideas have gained a new meaning through local-global interaction. -- Mona Abaza, The American University in Cairo
