Review: "A major feminist critique of Islamic fundamentalism, this book asks some hard questions of those who, in denouncing the racism of Western feminism, have taken up an uncritical embrace of the Islamic identity of Muslim women. It is urgent reading for all those concerned about human rights, as well as for students and academics of women's studies, political science, social theory and religious studies."--Jacket.
Oriental sexuality: imagined and real -- From Orientalism to Islamic feminism -- Postmodern relativism and the politics of cultural difference -- Islamic fundamentalism and its nostalgic accomplice -- Women, modernity and social change -- Fundamentalists in power: conflict and compromise -- Islamic feminism and its discontents.
