Reflecting this heterogeneity, the editor of this volume has assembled the latest research on the issue, which... more...

    I.B.Tauris 2011; US$ 98.50

    How Islam treats women is one of the most hotly contested questions of our times.

  • An Islam of Her Ownby Sherine Hafez

    NYU Press 2011; US$ 70.00

    As the world grapples with issues of religious fanaticism, extremist politics, and rampant violence that seek justification in either “religious” or “secular” discourses, women who claim Islam as a vehicle for individual and social change are often either regarded as pious subjects who subscribe to an ideology that denies them... more...
