Images of covered women, together with stories of honor killings
and forced marriages, continue to retain their currency in media
representations of Islam. Moving beyond staid stereotypes, Gender
and Violence in the "New" Europe draws new conclusions about the
role of violence in determining Muslim women's participation in
German public life. Combining cultural studies with theory, Beverly
Weber contributes to the ongoing scholarly discussion about Islam
in the West in two key ways. First, she demonstrates how current
thinking about gender violence prohibits the intellectual inquiry
necessary to act against a range of forms of violence. Secondly,
she analyzes ways in which Muslim women participate in the public
sphere by thematizing violence in literature, art, and popular
media. By examining how violence is imagined, portrayed, and
challenged, this timely book provides new strategies for action.
