Focusing on the body of Muslimah writing that has emerged since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, Djohar considers fiction such as Mohja Kahf's \u003ci\u003eThe Girl in the Tangerine Scarf, \u003c\/i\u003e Randa Jarrar's \u003ci\u003eA Map of Home, \u003c\/i\u003e Laila Lalami's \u003ci\u003eHope and Other Dangerous Pursuits, \u003c\/i\u003e and G. Willow Wilson's \u003ci\u003eAlif the Unseen.\u003c\/i\u003e Djohar also examines poetry, memoirs, and short stories. Together, these works depict the diversity of Muslimah identities and cultures worldwide. Operating within postcolonial and Islamic studies frameworks, Djohar investigates how these writers contribute to larger debates around gender and globalization--including justice for immigrants and refugees, who are often blamed for social problems rather than recognized as victims of US imperialism and transnational capitalist globalization. By way of close readings and careful attention to historical, cultural, and religious contexts, Djohar illuminates how Muslimah American writers decolonize justice and white sovereignty by elevating interconnectedness, spirituality, and sisterhood across diverse communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hasnul Insani Djohar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814215718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814215715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Hasnul Insani Djohar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526383882495,"sku":"9780814215715","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c39080c3-87d2-4037-92d9-566eb6afa563.jpg?v=1737556026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rewriting-islam-hasnul-insani-djohar-9780814215715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
