In this ethnographic examination of women's mosques in the
Maldives, anthropologist Jacqueline H. Fewkes probes how the
existence of these separate buildings-where women lead prayers for
other women-intersect with larger questions about gender, space,
and global Muslim communities. Bringing together ethnographic
insight with historical accounts, this volume develops an
understanding of the particular religious and cultural trends in
the Maldives that have given rise to these unique socio-religious
institutions. As Fewkes considers women's spaces in the Maldives as
a practice apart from contemporary global Islamic customs, she
interrogates the intersections between local, national, and
transnational communities in the development of Islamic spaces,
linking together the role of nations in the formation of Muslim
social spaces with transnational conceptualizations of Islamic
gendered spaces. Using the Maldivian women's mosque as a starting
point, this book addresses the roles of both the nation and the
global Muslim ummah in locating gendered spaces within discourses
about gender and Islam.
