| Abstract
|
:
|
"Focusing on women, who sometimes move outside of their ethnic Muslim spaced and interact with other Muslim ethnic groups in search of gender justice, this ethnographic study of African American and South Asian immigrant Muslims in Chicago and Atlanta explores how Islamic ideas of racial harmony and equality create hopeful possibilities in an American society that remains challenged by race and class inequalities."--Page 4 of cover.
