Women in Islam (eBook, ePUB)

The Western Experience

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The position of women in Islam is the subject of ongoing debates in both the Muslim world and the West. "Women in Islam" investigates this debate and illustrates the ways in which Islamic perceptions of women and gender relations tend to undergo significant change in Western Muslim communities. Roald shows how this cultural encounter gives rise to fresh interpretations of Islamic texts, promoting new Islamic understandings in relation to issues of gender.
