"Saba Mahmood';s 2005 Politics of Piety is an excellent example of evaluation in action.
Mahmood';s book is a study of women';s participation in the Islamic revival across
the Middle East. Mahmood--a feminist social anthropologist with left-wing, secular
political values--wanted to understand why women should become such active participants
in a movement that seemingly promoted their subjugation. As Mahmood observed, women';s
active participation in the conservative Islamic revival presented (and presents)
a difficult question for Western feminists: how to balance cultural sensitivity and
promotion of religious freedom and pluralism with the feminist project of women';s
liberation? Mahmood';s response was to conduct a detailed evaluation of the arguments
made by both sides, examining, in particular, the reasoning of female Muslims themselves.
In a key moment of evaluation, Mahmood suggests that Western feminist notions of agency
are inadequate to arguments about female Muslim piety. Where Western feminists often
restrict definitions of women';s agency to acts that undermine the normal, male-dominated
order of things, Mahmood suggests, instead, that agency can encompass female acts
that uphold apparently patriarchal values. Ultimately the Western feminist framework
is, in her evaluation, inadequate and insufficient for discussing women';s groups
in the Islamic revival."--Provided by publisher
