Summary:
"When was the last time you heard a
Muslim
woman speak for herself without a filter? It'
s
Not
About
the
Burqa
started life when Mariam Khan read
about
the conversation in which David Cameron linked the radicalization of
Muslim
men to the 'traditional submissiveness' of
Muslim
women
. Mariam felt pretty sure she didn't know a single
Muslim
woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she hearing
about
Muslim
women
from people who were demonstrably neither
Muslim
nor female? Taking one of the most politicized and misused words associated with
Muslim
women
and islamophobia, It'
s
Not
About
the
Burqa
has something to say: twenty
Muslim
women
speaking up for themselves. Here are essays
about
the hijab and wavering
faith
,
about
love and divorce,
about
queer identity,
about
sex,
about
the twin threats of a disapproving community and a racist country, and
about
how Islam and
feminism
go hand in hand. Funny, warm, sometimes sad, and often angry, each of these essays is a passionate declaration, and each essay is calling time on the oppression, the lazy stereotyping, the misogyny and the islamophobia. It'
s
Not
About
the
Burqa
doesn't claim to speak for a
faith
or a group of people, because it'
s
time the world realized that
Muslim
women
are not a monolith. It'
s
time the world listened to them."--From publisher.
