About This Item
Toronto, ON: TSAR Publications, 2003. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; a couple of pages had upper inside corner turned in bumping; a few light scratches to covers; otherwise very minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; Through lively provocative discussions ("sessions"), thoughtful analyses, and personal creative expression, nine young people from diverse backgrounds consider their lives as modern Muslim women in Canada. With the current view of Islam in vogue in the West, Muslim women have often been presented to the mainstream as victims and projucts of a misogynistic religion and of barbaric societies. This book counters these stereotypes with stories, views, and concerns that are complex and not simplistic. The women consider issues such as identity, gender, faith, and community. They probe the importance of Islam in their lives, and ask searching questions about its history and evolution. "Most women in this group would not call themselves oppressed, but they would not deny the challenges that they and other women in the community face.
