This book unpacks how the ethical is embodied through an
examination of the lived experiences of female Muslim volunteers in
Belgium. Kayikci draws on a wealth of interview material that sheds
light on the ethical turn in the anthropology of Islam, exploring
how volunteering enables the space and time for Muslim women to
commit to both orthodox religious and civic social values. As
volunteering and interacting (caring) with the society requires
careful deliberation of their society and their position as
Muslims, and as women in that society, this research unpacks how
multiple belongings of Muslim women in Belgium are negotiated,
balanced, and influenced. This analysis reveals how the everyday is
informed by different epistemological traditions; both the liberal
and the Islamic, and how these traditions make the life-worlds of
the women. Islamic Ethics and Female Volunteering will be of
interest to academics across religious studies, anthropology,
sociology, gender studies and community studies, especially
scholars working in the areas of ethics, migration, Muslims in
Europe, volunteering and activism.
This edited volume explores various facets of Muslims' civic
engagement in Western post-secular societies, fundamentally
challenging simplistic boundaries between Islamic ethical conduct
and liberal-democratic norms and practice. Bringing together
scholars from sociology, anthropology, and Islamic theology, the
collection offers sound theoretical and empirical elaborations on
the complex ways in which Islamic piety, principles and norms
interact with, and shape, Muslims' everyday practice of
volunteering as a performance of active citizenship in liberal
societies. The contributions cover diverse manifestations of Muslim
volunteering in North America, Europe and Australia, from
environmentalism to mental health volunteering, and critically
examine the national and global socio-political context within
which certain forms of Muslims' civic engagement are viewed with
skepticism and suspicion. It will be of use to students and
scholars across sociology, political science, community studies and
Islamic studies, with a focus on migrant integration, diaspora
studies, and inter-ethnic relations.
