Opis

This book analyses the socio-cultural politics of education among Muslim girls in India, and explores the linkages between pedagogy and religion in South Asia. It adopts multiple research methods and interdisciplinary approaches — ethnographic observations, interviews, and data and discourse analysis — to demonstrate the role of religion, education, class, and gender in determining the quality of education as well as identity formation.
