Do Muslim Women Need Saving?
Do Muslim Women Need Saving?
In recent years Abu-Lughod has struggled to reconcile the popular image of women victimized by Islam with the complex women she has known through her research in various communities in the Muslim world. Here, she renders that divide vivid by presenting detailed vignettes of the lives of ordinary Muslim women, and showing that the problem of gender inequality cannot be laid at the feet of religion alone. Poverty and authoritarianism-conditions not unique to the Islamic world, and produced out of global interconnections that implicate the West-are often more decisive. The standard Western vocabulary of oppression, choice, and freedom is too blunt to describe these women's lives.
Do Muslim Women Need Saving? is an indictment of a mindset that has justified all manner of foreign interference, including military invasion, in the name of rescuing women from Islam-as well as a moving portrait of women's actual experiences, and of the contingencies with which they live.
