Muslim Women and the Politics of Representation (2002)
This paper examines the politics of knowledge production as it relates to Muslim women in western literary traditions and contemporary feminist writing, with a view to understanding the political, ideological, and economic mediations that have historically framed these representations. The meta-narrative of the Muslim woman has shifted from the bold queens of medieval literature to colonial images of the seraglio’s veiled, secluded, and oppressed…
The Canadian Islamophobia Industry
Under Siege
Twenty years after the 9/11 attacks, Under Siege examines how the global war on terror and heightened anti-Muslim racism have affected millennials who were socialized into a world where their faith and identity are under attack. Jasmin Zine explores the experiences of Canadian Muslim youth to unpack the dynamics of Islamophobia
Pandemic Imaginaries and the Racial Politics of Masking
Masks have become part of the racial identity politics of our pandemic culture. In addition to providing protection from the coronavirus, masks play a symbolic role in pandemic imaginaries by reconstituting pre-existing racial ideologies and formations in new ways that separate good liberal citizens from “folk devils.” While some masked bodies are valorized and heralded as preserving the public good, others are rendered suspect and subject to gre…
Muslim Women, Transnational Feminism and the Ethics of Pedagogy
"Following a long historical legacy, Muslim women's lives continue to be represented and circulate widely as a vehicle of intercultural understanding within a context of the "war on terror." Following Edward Said's thesis that these cultural forms reflect and participate in the power plays of empire, this volume examines the popular and widespread production and reception of Muslim women's lives and narratives in literature, poetry, cinema, telev…
Islam in the Hinterlands
Muslim communities have become increasingly salient in the social, cultural, and political landscape in Canada largely due to the aftermath of 9/11 and the racial politics of the ongoing "war on terror" that have cast Muslims as the new "enemy within." Islam in the Hinterlands features empirical studies and critical essays by some of Canada's top Muslim Studies scholars who examine how gender, public policy, media, and education shape the Muslim …
Special Feature Article
Since 9/11 Muslim women have played a critical role in unsettling and reconfiguring the boundaries of citizenship and belonging in the Canadian national imaginary. Muslim women have been at the centre of several contemporary debates in Muslim cultural politics in Canada, such as proposals for sharia‐based tribunals in Ontario, a Citizen's Code in Herouxville, Quebec outlawing face veils, banning hijab in girls' soccer and the ‘honour killing’ of …
Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation: Writing Back from the Margins Jasmin Zine (bio) miriam cooke's article raises some important ongoing questions about how the category Muslimwoman is being constituted, contested, and lived. The dynamics associated with naming and inhabiting this identity through the binaries of Orientalist constructions and theological mandates are not new, although cooke has employed the neologism Muslimwoman to signal the conflation of gend…

Safe havens or religious ‘ghettos’? Narratives of Islamic schooling in Canada
Transnationalism and the experience of migrancy has lead to cultural dissonance for many newcomers from Muslim countries, unaccustomed to the culturally permissive social norms like consuming alcohol and partying, dating and premarital relations. Residing within culturally incongruent spaces, migrant Muslim communities often seek to shelter their children and youth from negative outside influences. Within this context, independent Islamic schools…
Unveiled Sentiments
The practice of veiling has made Muslim women subject to dual oppressions—racism and Islamophobia—in society at large and patriarchal oppression and sexism from within their communities. Based on a narrative analysis of the politics of veiling in schools and society, the voices of young Muslim women attending a Canadian Islamic school speak to the contested notion of gender identity in Islam. The narratives situate their various articulations of …
Between Orientalism and Fundamentalism
Discourses of race, gender and religion have scripted the terms of engagement in the war on terror. As a result, Muslim feminists and activists must engage with the dual oppressions of Islamophobia that relies on re-vitalized Orientalist tropes and representations of backward, oppressed and politically immature Muslim women as well as religious extremism and puritan discourses that authorize equally limiting narratives of Islamic womanhood and co…
Anti-Islamophobia Education as Transformative Pedadogy
The aftermath of 9/11 and the corresponding rise of global militarism and imperialism have had deep consequences for the realities of Muslims around the world. The reemergence of Orientalist representations have provided the ideological justifications for military incursions. This short reflective article outlines the challenge that critical educators faced in developing an epistemological and pedagogical framework and resources for anti-Islamoph…

Women Claim Islam
This book embarks on a sojourn into the stories and autobiographies of Arabwomen writers who "claim Islam" by "writing themselves into the historyof the twentieth century." Being situated outside their nations' historical narratives,Cooke examines the literary practices of Arab Muslim women whohave entered into global political discourses as vibrant public intellectuals,rather than as history's invisible subtext. According to her, Arab Muslimwome…
Muslim Youth in Canadian Schools
This article provides an ethnographic analysis of the schooling experiences of Muslim youth in Canada who are committed to maintaining an Islamic lifestyle despite the pressures of conformity to the dominant culture. Little attention has been paid to how religious identity intersects with other forms of social difference, such as race and gender in the schooling experiences of minoritized youth. Using a case study often Muslim students and parent…
Redefining Resistance
Based on a critical ethnographic study of student narratives, this article examines Muslim student subcultures in Ontario schools. These subcultures embody a multisystemic framework for the continuity of Islamic beliefs and practices within this context. The social organisation of Muslim youth in schools represents nascent forms of Islamic subcultures and utilises, to varying extents, the politics of resistance to counteract their marginality and…
