| Abstract
|
:
|
"In an insightful blend of feminist, critical race and post-colonial theory, Sunera Thobani examines how Islam has contributed to the formation of Western identity at critical points in history such as the Crusades, the Reconquista and the colonial period. More specifically, she explores how masculinity and femininity are formed at such pivotal junctures and what role feminism plays in the fight against 'radical' Islam. Engaging with leading thinkers and multi-disciplinary ideas, Thobani explores how the return of 'religion' has created the racial, gender and sexual politics by which Western society defines itself, and more specifically defines itself against Islam"--
