Though much has been written on the Middle East, there is a huge gap in research on Asia, which has two-thirds of the world's Muslim population. These essays reveal that the lives of Muslim women are impacted not only by Islam but also by local politics, class, religion, and ethnicity. Through ethnographic research and other methodologies, the contributors describe how economic globalization, construction of sexualities, and diasporic expectations shape women's lives. The book focuses on women's negotiations and resistances to global, national, and local patriarchies in an attempt to empower themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Huma Ahmed-Ghosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 143845774X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438457741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Huma Ahmed-Ghosh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439140516095,"sku":"9781438457741","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08285663-eaef-4565-a2cf-87387ebac622.jpg?v=1777175701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asian-muslim-women-huma-ahmed-ghosh-9781438457741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
