520 |a Stereotypes depict Muslim women as exotic, oppressed by Islam, subject to rigid notions of how to be an authentic and proper Muslim. Moving beyond traditional Western, Orientalist, and patriarchal discourse, Shahnaz suggests how Muslim women living in North America form their Islamic identity. Using interviews with 14 Muslim women from Canada, the author, herself an immigrant, examines how the women challenge and resist the stereotypes and achieve new ways of being Muslim. Her analysis provides an account of the trauma they experience during dislocation and of their behavior in everyday encounters with racism, sexism, and stereotyping in such areas as employment, education, and parenthood. Her conclusions challenge the perceptions of Islam as monolithic and static and, she argues, expose the hidden agendas of political strategies that seek to constrain diverse ethnic groups. Resisting easy explanations about Muslim identity, this book makes a contribution to understanding the intersection of race, class, gender, sexuality, and religion in the experience of Muslim women living in Canada. It will be of interest to scholars in women's and cultural studies, diasporic studies, and modern Islamic studies.
