Muslim women have been stereotyped by Western academia as oppressed
and voiceless. This volume problematizes this Western academic
representation. Muslim Women Writers from the Middle East from Out
al-Kouloub al-Dimerdashiyyah (1899-1968) and Latifa al-Zayat
(1923-1996) from Egypt, to current diasporic writers such as Tamara
Chalabi from Iraq, Mohja Kahf from Syria, and even trendy writers
such as Alexandra Chreiteh, challenge the received notion of Middle
Eastern women as subjugated and secluded. The younger largely
Muslim women scholars collected in this book present cutting edge
theoretical perspectives on these Muslim women writers. This book
includes essays from the conflict-ridden countries such as Iran,
Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and the resultant diaspora. The strengths
of Muslim women writers are captured by the scholars included
herein. The approach is feminist, post-colonial, and disruptive of
Western stereotypical academic tropes.
