Given the intense political scrutiny of Islam and Muslims, which
often centres on gendered concerns, The Routledge Handbook of Islam
and Gender is an outstanding reference source to key topics,
problems, and debates in this exciting subject. Comprising over 30
chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is
divided into seven parts: Foundational texts in historical and
contemporary contexts Sex, sexuality, and gender difference
Gendered piety and authority Political and religious displacements
Negotiating law, ethics, and normativity Vulnerability, care, and
violence in Muslim families Representation, commodification, and
popular culture These sections examine key debates and problems,
including: feminist and queer approaches to the Qur'an, hadith,
Islamic law, and ethics, Sufism, devotional practice, pilgrimage,
charity, female religious authority, global politics of feminism,
material and consumer culture, masculinity, fertility and the
family, sexuality, sexual rights, domestic violence, marriage
practices, and gendered representations of Muslims in film and
media. The Routledge Handbook of Islam and Gender is essential
reading for students and researchers in religious studies, Islamic
studies, and gender studies. The Handbook will also be very useful
for those in related fields, such as cultural studies, area
studies, sociology, anthropology, and history.
