From the Preface: “The idea of writing a book about feminism and Islamic fundamentalism developed out of the discomfort I felt over several years as I watched and listened to academic debates on the subject. Gradually, one noticed a shift in accounts about women’s lives in Islamic societies, from a sympathetic appreciation of the plight of women under fundamentalist rule to extravagant affirmations of Muslim women’s ‘agency’, gender-awareness, empowerment and security within a protected space. In an heroic effort to rescue ‘Islam’ from its bad reputation in the treatment of women, discussions blurred between distinctions of ‘Islam’ as a faith, ‘Islam’ as the ideology of a movement in opposition, and Islam as a ruling system, that is, Islamic fundamentalism. This book is an attempt to illuminate the contradictory implications of academic theorizations for those theorized. I hope it makes a modest contribution to debates and struggles for political democracy, for human rights and social and cultural change in Islamic societies.” We welcome questions and answer promptly; we are happy to e-mail additional photographs on request.
