Perceptions of Muslim women in Western society have been shaped by
historical and sociological conditions such as colonialism,
patriarchy and Orientalism. In Muslim Women in Britain, Sariya
Contractor seeks to reinstate the Muslimah as a storyteller who
tells her own story. An exploration of the lives of British Muslim
women, this book examines issues of femininity, Britishness,
inter-communal relations and social cohesion. Presenting the reader
with incisive narratives of Muslim women on familiar topics such as
the hijab, Muslim women in the media and feminist debate,
particularly in a Western context, Sariya Contractor makes a
valuable contribution to the existing literature on Islamic
studies, social anthropology, feminist philosophy and social
cohesion. Presenting a complex and nuanced retelling of Muslim
women's realities as explored through their own voices, stories and
experiences; this book will be of interest to scholars and students
of Islamic studies, Women's studies, Social Anthropology and
Sociology seeking a fresh perspective on Muslim women in Britain.
