This book focuses on the ways in which North American Muslim women
artists "talk back" to dominant discourses about Muslim identity
and work to counter mainstream stereotypes and representations. It
examines the possibilities of constructing discourses of resistance
to domination. Against a backdrop of dominant media representations
of oppressed and passive Muslim women, the media interventions of
the exceptional women artists whose voices are showcased in this
book, demonstrate that Muslim women are diverse and autonomous
agents who have, historically, and continue contemporarily, to
fight against all forms of injustice including those that seek to
circumscribe their realities and experiences. To explore
expressions and articulations of alternative discourses, this book
analyzes the media texts of exceptional women artists: the stand-up
comedy of Palestinian-American Maysoon Zayid, the cinematic
interventions of Iranian-American Shirin Neshat, and the television
comedy of Pakistani-Canadian Zarqa Nawaz. Using a methodology
consisting of a textual analysis grounded in the theoretical
framework of postcolonial theory and informed by gender studies and
alternative media research, the analysis is supplemented with
semi-structured interviews with the artists. This book is suitable
for scholars and students in Gender Studies, Media Studies,
Cultural Studies, Sociology, and Politics.
