When Muslim women from diverse national and cultural contexts meet
one another through transnational dialogue and networking, what
happens to their sense of identity and social agency? Addressing
this question, Meena Sharify-Funk encountered women activists and
intellectuals in North America, the Middle East, South Asia and
Southeast Asia - women whose lives and visions have become linked
by 'the transnational' despite their differing circumstances and
intellectual backgrounds. The resultant work provides a rich and
cliche-bursting account of women's reflections on a wide range of
topics including: the status of women in Islam, the role of women
as interpreters of religious norms, the relationship between
secular and religious forms of self-identification, perceptions of
Islamic-Western relations, experiences of marginalization, and
opportunities for empowerment. Giving careful attention both to
common threads in Muslim women's experiences and to the unique
voices of remarkable women, this is a compelling account of
conversations that are bringing new energy and dynamism into
women's activism in a world of collapsing distances.
