Since the 1970s, movements aimed at giving Muslim women access to
the serious study of Islamic texts have emerged across the world.
In this book, Masooda Bano argues that the creative spirit that
marked the rise and consolidation of Islam, whereby Islam inspired
serious intellectual engagement to create optimal societal
institutions, can be found within these education movements.
Drawing on rich ethnographic material from Pakistan, northern
Nigeria and Syria, Bano questions the restricted notion of agency
associated with these movements, exploring the educational networks
which have attracted educated, professional and culturally
progressive Muslim women to textual study, thus helping to reverse
the most damaging legacy of colonial rule in Muslim societies: the
isolation of modern and Islamic knowledge. With its comparative
approach, this will appeal to those studying and researching the
role of women across Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, as
well as the wider Muslim world.
