Sexuality in Muslim Contexts
Restrictions and Resistance
Herausgeber: Helie, Anissa; Hoodfar, Homa
- Broschiertes Buch
This insightful collection shows that conservative Muslim discourse does not necessarily match practices of believers or citizens and that women's empowerment is facilitated where indigenous and culturally appropriate strategies are developed.
A timely intervention to the construction of 'Muslim women' as uniformly subordinate, this book spearheads an unprecedented wake of organizing around Muslim sexuality issues and explores resistance against the harsh policing of sexuality in some Muslim societies.
