In the post-9/11 environment, the figure of the Muslim woman is at the forefront of
global politics. Her representation is often articulated within a rights discourse
owing much to liberal-secular sensibilities-notions of freedom, equality, rational
thinking, individualism, and modernization. Muslim Women's Rights explores how these
liberal-secular sensibilities inform, shape, and foreclose public discussion on questions
of Islam and gender. The book draws on postcolonial, antiracist, and transnational
feminist studies in order to analyze public and legal debates surrounding proposed
shari`ah tribunals in Canada. It examines the cultural and epistemological suppositions
underlying common assumptions about Islamic laws; explores how these assumptions are
informed by the Western progress narrative and women's rights debates; and asks what
forms of politics these enable and foreclose. The book assesses the influence of secularism
on the ontology, epistemology, and ethics afforded to Islam in the West, and begins
to trace possibilities by which Islamic family law might be productively addressed
on its own terms. Muslim Women's Rights is a significant contribution to the fields
of both Islam and gender and the critical study of secularism
