Opis

Muslim Women and White Femininity: Reenactment and Resistance explores how Whiteness travels through Muslim women's bodies, who in turn reenact or resist White womanhood by examining three relevant archetypes: the Oppressed, the Advocate, and the Humanitarian Leader.

Recenzje

"This is an insightful, eclectic look at the various ways in which Muslim Women have dealt with the hegemonic power of White femininity. Professor Ghabra uses a series of case studies to illustrate how Muslim women can, at times, deploy their subject positionalities to resistant, diverse forms of patriarchy and domestication." -Marouf A. Hasian Jr., Professor of Communication Studies, University of Utah
