Gender and I slam
The way in which Islam is practiced varies from culture to culture, so ideally an understanding of gender in Islam has to be contextualized to specific cultures. This variation in gender practice across Islamic cultures was much more pronounced historically. However, in recent decades Muslims across the globe have had to come to terms with contemporary Islamic movements and new purist forms of Islam in the context of a volatile political climate …
Introduction: Finding Muslim partners, building Islamic lives
Islamic marriage: A haven in an uncertain world
The article derives from a recent three-year research project on young Bangladeshis, Islam, love and marriage, in Bangladesh and in the UK. We found that many young Bangladeshis in Bangladesh and in the diaspora are concerned about the instability and insecurity of marriage today, and that they see marriage to a partner who shares their Islamic commitment as more likely to endure. In a society where neither their parents' values, nor those of the…
Introduction to special issue of Contemporary Islam: Islamic piety and gender relationships among contemporary Muslims
Islamic piety against the family: From ‘traditional’ to ‘pure’ Islam
Contesting science for Islam: The media as a source of revisionist knowledge in the lives of young Bangladeshis
In our research with young Bangladeshis, we have been repeatedly struck by the popularity of television, DVD and Internet material that offers a modernist, quasi-scientific defence of Islamic knowledge against both ‘western’ scientific criticisms and US fundamentalist Christians. The South Indian doctor Zakir Naik's programmes, broadcast on his own television channel (Peace TV) and also available widely on DVD, are very popular, and admired for t…
Gender, religious change and sustainability in Bangladesh
From village religion to global networks: Women, religious nationalism and sustainability in South and Southeast Asia
Legitimation and the Re-Discovery of Ritual: Intercommunal and Class Relationships in a Bangladeshi Village
Despite the great poverty in the village of Doria, (Dhaka, Bangladesh) it is religious conflicts, and not class conflict, which has become important. The poor in each religious group are made pawns in the competition between wealthy families of different religious groups. In this paper I use the example of a thief-searching ritual, as an element of interconnected ‘social situations’, to illustrate the conflict and cooperation characterising inter…
Allah is the scientist of the scientists: Modern medicine and religious healing among British Bangladeshis
In anthropological fieldwork between 2005 and 2007 on genetically related illness among British Bangladeshi Muslims, I was struck with the absolute faith which people expressed in Allah in relation to whatever healing and medical options they might adopt. Whether the problem was regarded as upri (jinn, i.e. spirit-related) or daktari (biomedical) problem, the families were insistent that the ultimate responsibility for both the illness and the cu…
Outside the Moral Economy? Single Female Migrants and the Changing Bangladeshi Family
Unmarried female migrants, travelling overseas for work, form a small proportion of Bangladeshi overseas migrants. Their situation is anomalous and suspect, since unmarried women should remain at home under male protection and control. The stories of Dipti, a single woman who migrated to Australia in the 1980s, and of two other single women from her native village, demonstrate clearly some of the contradictions of these women's lives. Like other …

Maternities and Modernities: Colonial and Postcolonial Experiences in Asia and the Pacific
Feminist theories have focused on contemporary, Western, middle-class experiences of maternity. This 1998 volume brings other mothers, from Asia and the Pacific, into scholarly view, aiming to show that birthing and mothering can be a very different experience for women in other parts of the world. The contributors document a wide variety of conceptions of motherhood, and drawing on ethnographic and historical research, they explore the relations…

Development and rural women in South Asia: The limits of empowerment and conscientization
There is general agreement that women, and particularly poor rural women, need special consideration within the development process. Awareness of the problem has increased in recent years, as have attempts at appropriate strategies, but effective responses are hard to find. This paper examines the idea of "empowerment," widely used in the context of women's development but incorporating elements from at least two distinct theoretical frameworks, …
