Reviews

The engaging and clearly written articles in this volume examine the ways in which women assert their presence in public space in a number of Muslim societies. Essays consider how conceptions of honor intersect with notions of personhood and citizenship, particularly under conditions of political transformation when women attempt to open up spaces of resistance and self-empowerment...What distinguishes this small jewel of a collection from many others on women in the Muslim world is the cutting-edge nature of the issues it addresses and the clarity of language and presentation. Of particular note is the lucid and well-researched introduction that situates the articles within recent theoretical debates.--J. B. White "Choice "
