The treatment and role of women is one of the most discussed and
controversial aspects of Islam. In this volume, three respected
scholars of Islam survey the situation of women in Islam, focusing
on how Muslim views about and experiences of gender are changing in
the Western diaspora. It offers an overview of the teachings of the
Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad on gender, analyzes the ways in
which the West has historically viewed Muslim women, and examines
how the Muslim world has changed in response to Western critiques.
The volume then centers on the Muslim experience in America,
examining Muslim American analyses of gender, Muslim attempts to
form a new "American" Islam, and the legal issues surrounding equal
rights for Muslim females. Such specific issues as dress, marriage,
child custody, and asylum are addressed. It also looks at the ways
in which American Muslim women have tried to create new paradigms
of Islamic womanhood and are reinterpreting the traditions apart
from the males who control the mosque institutions.
