Geographies Of Muslim Women Gender, Religion, And Space

"Geographies of Muslim Womenis a timely and significant intervention that is destined to become a landmark in feminist conversations in and beyond geography. In the post-9/11 geopolitical context, when we are bombarded with dangerous caricatures of Islam and everything 'Muslim,' this outstanding volume provides us with desperately needed tools to engage, ground, and extend critical questions of representation, difference, political action, and space."--Richa Nagar, Department of Women's Studies, University of Minnesota "This volume's contributions are original and diverse in terms of region, geographic scale, topical focus, historical period, and methodology, affording the reader insight into the complexity and wide variation among women's lives in the Muslim world--which is today the entire world. This is an engaging book and one I recommend to anyone interested in gender, development, Islam, or geography. It will be an especially rich text from which to teach. Senior undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars--geographers and nongeographers alike--will find this book invaluable."--Karen Falconer Al-Hindi, Geography and Women's Studies Programs, University of Nebraska at Omaha "This collection has everything! It sets a high standard for contemporary geographical theory, original research, and innovative methodologies. It is a timely treatment of one of the least understood and most important topics in today's world, as it busts cultural myths, challenges stereotypes, takes on moral issues, and provides a rich sense of everyday lives and landscapes. It will gain notice as the best that human geography has to offer."--Audrey Kobayashi, Department of Geography, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, CanadaFalah, Ghazi-Walid is the author of 'Geographies Of Muslim Women Gender, Religion, And Space' with ISBN 9781593851835 and ISBN 1593851839.
