Recenzii

'Shanneik presents a well-researched multi-sited ethnographic study that brings together local and transnational trajectories in the lives of Twelvers Shia women who follow ayatollah al-Shirazi. The study offers an original approach to research on women and resistance by theorizing social agency through the examination of ritual performance and material culture.' Ingvild Flaskerud, University of Oslo
'This exceptional study explores a movement among contemporary Shi'a women who have begun to incorporate bodily practices previously reserved for men within Shi'a mourning rituals (e.g. self-flagellation, walking on coals). With great subtlety and insight. Shanneik analyzes these emergent ritual forms as theo-political practice, a response both to growing sectarian (anti-Shi'a) violence and to the patriarchal constraints of Shi'a traditionalism.' Charles Hirschkind, University of California, Berkeley
'Shanneik beautifully illustrates how ritual performances are a means of empowerment for Shi'i Muslim women and a form of resistance to religious sectarianism. This groundbreaking book erases traditional area studies boundaries by ambitiously connecting the understudied Arab Gulf to the Shi'i diaspora in Europe through artistic expression and political protest.' Mara Leichtman, Michigan State University
