Punching Back - Gender, Religion and Belonging in Women-Only Kickboxing (Hardcover)

In the Netherlands, girls and young women are increasingly active
in women-only kickboxing. The general assumption, in the
Netherlands and in western Europe more broadly, is that women's
sport is a form of secular, feminist empowerment. Muslim women's
participation would then exemplify the incongruence of Islam with
the modern, secular nation-state. Punching Back provides a detailed
ethnographic study that contests this view by showing that young
Muslim women who kickbox establish agentive selves by playing with
gender norms, challenging expectations, and living out their
religious subjectivities.
