Based on first-hand ethnographic insights into Shi'i religious
groups in the Middle East and Europe , this book examines women's
resistance to state as well as communal and gender power
structures. It offers a new transnational approach to understanding
gender agency within contemporary Islamic movements expressed
through language, ritual practices, dramatic performances , posters
and banners. By looking at the aesthetic performance of the
political on the female body through Shi'i ritual practices - an
aspect that has previously been ignored in studies on women's acts
of resistance -, Yafa Shanneik shows how women play a central role
in redefining sectarian and gender power relations both in the
Middle East and in the European diaspora.
