The covered Muslim woman is a common spectacle in Western media--a
victim of male brutality, the oppressed and suffering wife or
daughter. And the resulting negative stereotypes of Muslim men,
stereotypes reinforced by the post-9/11 climate in which he is seen
as a potential terrorist, have become so prominent that they
influence and shape public policy, citizenship legislation, and the
course of elections across Europe and throughout the Western world.
In this book, Katherine Pratt Ewing asks why and how these
stereotypes--what she terms "stigmatized masculinity"--largely go
unrecognized, and examines how Muslim men manage their masculine
identities in the face of such discrimination.
The author focuses her analysis and develops an ethnographic
portrait of the Turkish Muslim immigrant community in Germany, a
population increasingly framed in the media and public discourse as
in crisis because of a perceived refusal of Muslim men to
assimilate. Interrogating this sense of crisis, Ewing examines a
series of controversies--including honor killings, headscarf
debates, and Muslim stereotypes in cinema and the media--to reveal
how the Muslim man is ultimately depicted as the "abjected other"
in German society.
