Recenzii
All the essays detail the types of dilemmas faced by religious women in communities that struggle to define secular and sacred ... Such particulars on the lives of religious women struggling with patriarchy make this book well worth reading.
At a time of increasing attacks on secularism and secular feminism in both academia and the public spheres in general, Postsecular Feminisms provides an important intervention in the contested terrain of feminism's relationship with religion. Challenging the binary frame of secularism and religion, the volume's essays help to deepen our understanding of contemporary issues as well as expand analyses of agency and subjectivity within feminist theory.
Postsecular Feminisms brings in conversation scholars from diverse backgrounds to provide rich alternatives to the secular/religious binary. In so doing, the volume opens new theoretical and methodological doors for thinking about the relationship between feminism and religion. This wonderful collection is an essential read for students and scholars who have been looking for a productive lens to help make better sense of the hybridity and intricacies of contemporary diversity.
The book takes seriously the continuing relevance of religion in the lives of most women, including those drawn to a course in which this book would be featured. This is a big strength.
I am excited about the possibility of using this book in my teaching. There are some excellent essays and the range of topics and transnational approach make it especially attractive.
