Abstract

Women in Islam investigates the ongoing debate across the Muslim world and the West on the position of women in Islam.Anne-Sofie Roald focuses on how Islamic perceptions of women and gender change in Western Muslim communities. She shows how Islamic attitudes towards social concerns such as gender relations, female circumcision, and female dress emerge as responsive to culture and context, rather than rigid and inflexible.

Abstract

Dit boek gaat over de bekering van westerse vrouwen tot de islam. De essays in het boek zijn geschreven naar aanleiding van een symposium 'gender and conversion to islam'. De auteurs komen uit verschillende disciplines: sociologie, antropologie, geschiedeniswetenschap en theologie. Er wordt nagegaan waarom westerse vrouwen zich bekeren tot de islam en wat de impact hiervan is op hun eigen leven en op hun omgeving. De auteurs hebben daarvoor gebruik gemaakt van talrijke getuigenissen en interviews met bekeerde vrouwen in de Verenigde Staten, de Scandinavische landen, Duitsland, Nederland, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Zuid-Afrika.
