How and why have women come to play a central role in the political
project of Islamic revivalism and in the power struggles between
Islamic and secular forces in Turkey? Ayse Saktanber rejects
approaches to this issue that ask what Islam means for the position
of women or see Muslim women as the 'reverse' or the 'dark' side of
modernity. She examines the experiences of women for whom the
discourse of modernity has no relevance and looks at the ways in
which they have become crucial agents in the effort to make Islam a
living social practice in a secular order. Full of fascinating
accounts of the lives of Islamist women, this study is essential
for anyone interested in the contemporary Muslim world.
