{"product_id":"muslim-women-in-war-and-crisis-representation-and-reality-9780292728844","title":"Muslim Women in War and Crisis: Representation and Reality","description":"Representing diverse cultural viewpoints, Muslim Women in War and Crisis collects an array of original essays that highlight the experiences and perspectives of Muslim women--their dreams and nightmares and their daily struggles--in times of tremendous social upheaval. Analyzing both how Muslim women have been represented and how they represent themselves, the authors draw on primary sources ranging from poetry and diaries to news reports and visual media. Topics include: - Peacebrokers in Indonesia- Exploitation in the Islamic Republic of Iran- Chechen women rebels- Fundamentalism in Afghanistan, from refugee camps to Kabul- Memoirs of Bengali Muslim women- The 7\/7 London bombings, British Muslim women, and the media Also exploring such images in the United States, Spain, the former Yugoslavia, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, and Iraq, this collection offers a chorus of multidimensional voices that counter Islamophobia and destructive clichés. Encompassing the symbolic national and religious identities of Muslim women, this study goes beyond those facets to examine the realities of day-to-day existence in societies that seek scapegoats and do little to defend the victims of hate crimes. Enhancing their scholarly perspectives, many of the contributors (including the editor) have lived through the strife they analyze. This project taps into their firsthand experiences of war and deadly political oppression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Faegheh Shirazi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292728844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFaegheh Shirazi, a native of Iran, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies, Islamic Studies Program, at the University of Texas at Austin.Her research interests includes gender identity and discourse in Muslim societies, te\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39949032751219,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":30.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_15b45888-1c7e-4fd9-88d1-abfc1a4becb7.jpg?v=1648475294","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/muslim-women-in-war-and-crisis-representation-and-reality-9780292728844","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
