Veiled Threats: Producing the Muslim Woman in Public Policy Discourses de Naaz Rashid

Veiled Threats: Producing the Muslim Woman in Public Policy Discourses

Autor Naaz Rashid
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 mai 2016
The war on terror and the Islamophobia it has unleashed have affected the lives of Muslims throughout the United Kingdom—but that affect is felt differently by men and women. This book looks specifically at the role of gender in the debate over terrorism and security, showing how the concept of the “Muslim woman” has been deployed as part of government and media discussions of terrorism and revealing how such stereotyping and mischaracterization affects the varied, distinct lives of countless Muslim women.

Recenzii

"Veiled Threats should be required reading not only to academics researching counter-terrorism policy, nationalism, and feminism, but also to policy makers tasked with reviewing and implementing such policies. . . . Rashid’s book is a stern warning to policy makers of how problematic it is when security policy approaches identity in a reductive way."

"A valuable contribution that provides new scholarly insights into how policy contributes to the social construction of its target group – in this case the ‘Muslim woman’."

“This much-needed critical analysis is a major contribution to our understanding of the complex ways that the figure of the Muslim woman is debated, instructed, feared, and fetishized.”

“With religion and gender at the heart of moral panics across Britain and Europe, from hijabs to jihadi brides, Rashid’s work could scarcely be more timely, or more necessary.”

“Provides an excellent lens to look at future political initiatives that focus on Islam and successfully deconstructs the artificial and biased idealistic construction of a ‘Muslim woman’ in UK policy.”

“Rashid skillfully challenges simplistic accounts of ‘the Muslim woman’ and reveals the complex and situated interplay of gender, race, religion, class, and culture in contemporary Britain.”

“A challenging exposition of how Muslim women are represented in policy discourses and in the wider society. It reminds us that there is a need for clear, intelligent, and critical analysis of this important social issue.”
