On the Politics of Viruses and Visibility
A library keyword search of “Muslim women” or “women [in/and] Islam” invariably pulls up a long list of books and articles with titles that include the word veil. The long-standing use of this word—and variations on it—is testament not only to an astounding lack of syntactic originality and to the continued association of Muslim women with “the veil” but also to the need of others to uncover and reveal what is hidden from sight. Often this projec…
Palestine Solidarity: A View from the Global South
Palestine Solidarity:A View from the Global South Elora Shehabuddin (bio) governments, organizations, and individuals throughout the Global South have objected to the injustices perpetuated in Palestine for decades. The evidence is in the massive protests now seen around the world expressing solidarity with Palestine, calling for an end to the current bombardment and genocidal killing, and calling for an end to the longstanding Israeli occupation…
Between Orientalism and Anti-Muslim Racism
This article explores some of the ways in which, in the early years of the united Pakistan experiment, elite educated Muslim East Bengali women experienced and narrated their relationship to the new Pakistan nation as they navigated the international stage as citizens of a new sovereign Muslim-majority state. In the context of the nascent Cold War and the Pakistani state's efforts to develop its own relationship with the United States, one that w…

Gender and Economics in Muslim Communities: A Critical Feminist and Postcolonial Analysis
This contribution seeks to delineate the broad contours of a transnational, anti-imperial feminist perspective on gender and economics in Muslim communities by bringing together feminist analyses of Orientalist tropes, development discourses and policies, and macro- and microeconomic trends. The goal is to facilitate conversations among scholars who have tended to work within their respective disciplinary and methodological silos despite shared i…
Islamic Reform in South Asia
The articles in this volume build up ethnographic analysis complementary to the historiography of South Asian Islam, which has explored the emergence of reformism in the context of specific political and religious circumstances of nineteenth-century British India. Taking up diverse popular and scholarly debates as well as everyday religious practices, this volume also breaks away from the dominant trend of mainstream ethnographic work, which cele…
Jamaat-i-Islami in Bangladesh: Women, Democracy and the Transformation of Islamist Politics
This article argues that leaders of the Jamaat-i-Islami in Bangladesh regularly invoke women's privileged status as mothers to counter the claims of the largely secularist non-governmental organizations operating in the country today that Islam has been harmful to women and that the only route to progress is to discard the shackles of religion and tradition. The current Jamaat rhetoric marks a significant change from the original Jamaat position-…

Bangladesh in 1998: Democracy on the Ground
It has been a difficult year for Bangladesh, largely because of the worst floods in the country's recent history; the year has also seen numerous confrontations between the government and the opposition party, reports of terrorism and violence, and delays in implementing the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Accord. At the same time, there were some positive steps in curbing gender violence, improving communications between different parts of the coun…
