Investigating minority and indigenous women's rights in
Muslim-majority states, this book critically examines the human
rights regime within international law. Based on extensive and
diverse ethnographic research on Amazigh women in Morocco, the book
unpacks and challenges generally accepted notions of rights and
equality. Significantly, and controversially, the book challenges
the supposedly 'emancipatory' power vested in the human rights
project; arguing that rights-based discourses are sites of
contestation for different groups that use them to assert their
agency in society. More specifically, it shows how the very
conditions that make minority and indigenous women instrumental to
the preservation of their culture may condemn them to a position of
subalternity. In response, and engaging the notion and meaning of
Islamic feminism, the book proposes that feminism should be
interpreted and contextualised locally in order to be effective and
inclusive, and so in order for the human rights project to fully
realise its potential to empower the marginalised and make space
for their voices to be heard. Providing a detailed, empirically
based, analysis of rights in action, this book will be of relevance
to scholars, students and practitioners in human rights policy and
practice, in international law, minorities' and indigenous peoples'
rights, gender studies, and Middle Eastern and North African
Studies.
