North American Muslim Women Artists Talk Back (Routledge Research in Gender, Sexuality, and Media)

Women in art and media book

This book focuses on the ways in which North American Muslim women artists “talk back” to dominant discourses about Muslim identity and work to counter mainstream stereotypes and representations. It examines the possibilities of constructing discourses of resistance to domination.

Against a backdrop of dominant media representations of oppressed and passive Muslim women, the media interventions of the exceptional women artists whose voices are showcased in this book, demonstrate that Muslim women are diverse and autonomous agents who have, historically, and continue contemporarily, to fight against all forms of injustice including those that seek to circumscribe their realities and experiences.
