Ziba Mir-Hosseini

Journeys Toward Gender Equality in Islam (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

If justice is an intrinsic value in Islam, why have women been treated as second-class citizens in Islamic legal tradition? Today, the idea of gender equality, inherent to contemporary conceptions of justice, presents a challenge to established, patriarchal interpretations of Shari'a. In thought-provoking discussions with six influential Muslim intellectuals Abdullahi An-Na'im, Amina Wadud, Asma Lamrabet, Khaled Abou El Fadl, Mohsen Kadivar and Sedigheh Vasmaghi Ziba Mir-Hosseini explores how egalitarian gender laws might be constructed from within the Islamic legal framework.
