Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between young Muslim women living in Auckland, New Zealand's perceptions of the way the Western media represents Muslims and Islam, and the construction of identity as Muslim women in the West. Qualitative methodologies were used in this study. Fourteen young Muslim women aged between 18-25 years old participated in semi-structured interviews and two focus groups. Ten of the young women migrated to New Zealand with their families, the majority under the Skilled Migrants Scheme, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The families came from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Kurdistan, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, India, and Pakistan. Two were granted, along with their families, entry as refugees from Morocco and Afghanistan, and two were born in New Zealand. The outcome of the semi-structured interviews and focus groups was an account of the experience of migrant women growing up in New Zealand as Muslims. Many of my participants reported their childhood years as a time of conformity in mainstream society and of the retention of culture and religion being confined to the domestic sphere. The events of September 11 occurred when the young women were in school and had a long lasting effect on their lives. For some, the backlash against Islam following September 11 motivated them to seek "the truth" about their religion. During their teenage years a desire to explore their religion grew, and joining Islamic organizations either at university or mosques helped shape an emergent Muslim identity. Wearing the hijab was central to their identity as Muslim women and a public symbol of their devotion to Islam. Of my participants, 13 wore the hijab. The young women were aware of the perception that Muslim women who wore the hijab were oppressed by their religion. However, rather than oppressing the young women, they believed the hijab was liberating because it allowed them not to be judged on their "beauty" and to move freely in the public sphere. The young woman who did not wear the hijab adopted modest dress and expressed her religion by praying five times a day, fasting during the month of Ramadan, adhering to gender segregation and believing in one God. The participants in this study conveyed that they felt the Western mainstream media associated Muslims and Islam with violence, terrorism and the oppression of women. These themes were also identified within academic literature examining the representation of Islam and Muslims in the media. All of the young women accessed Arab produced news media or media sources made by and for Muslims either through the internet or satellite television. This highlighted their participation in transnational media networks that linked them to their homelands and provided an alternative to Western media. The term ummah (the global Muslim network) has been used by academics to describe modern transnational Muslim networks. This thesis argues caution must be used when appropriating religious terms and giving them new meanings. Participation in protests to show their solidarity for the Arab Spring of 2011, by some of the young women from Arab nations, demonstrated how transnational networks are not necessarily drawn along religious lines for Muslims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first major national history of Aotearoa New Zealand to be published for 20 years, Professor Michael Belgrave advances the notion that New Zealand's two peoples — tangata whenua and subsequent migrants — have together built an open, liberal society based on a series of social contracts. Frayed though they may sometimes be, these contracts have created a country that is distinct. This engaging new look at our history examines how.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the everyday experiences of Muslim women in Auckland. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the position that Muslim women hold in society, through the consideration of their everyday experiences. The context of this research is the growing Muslim community in New Zealand, particularly its growth in Auckland. The growth of the Muslim community has increased the visibility of Islam in Auckland’s ‘secular’ society and has influenced socially constructed lines of difference that exist around Islam in Auckland. Islam in the ‘West’ is commonly recognised as a cause of contention in international scholarly literature, where it is represented as being in opposition to ‘Western’ values and practices (Choo & Ferree, 2010; Jensen, 2008; Silverstein, 2005). As such, Muslims are subject to othering in ‘Western’ society. In particular, Muslim women are common targets of Islamophobic discrimination due to the visible representation of their faith (Aziz, 2012; EUMC, 2006; Perry, 2014, Poynting & Mason, 2007). This study draws on semi-structured interviews with 15 Muslim women that focusses on their everyday experiences in Auckland. The interviews were transcribed and then analysed using a mixed inductive and deductive thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal that discourses of Islamophobia are socially situated and constructed within society. The negative experiences that ensue from these constructions are then often normalised by the women who experience them as a way of coping with their position within society. I have also identified that women craft their own identity in various spaces, and it is not simply prescribed by religion nor is it a result of their othered position in ‘Western' society. Their negotiated identity acts as a tactical practice to further cope with and negotiate their position in society. As such, this thesis moves beyond the hypervisible constructions of Islam in the ‘West’ in order to explore the tactical religious practices and identity negotiations that form a critical part of these women’s lives in Auckland.

Download or read book Religious Diversity in Southeast Asia and the Pacific written by Gary D. Bouma and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious diversity is now a social fact in most countries of the world. While reports of the impact of religious diversity on Europe and North America are reasonably well-known, the ways in which Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific are religiously diverse and the ways this diversity has been managed are not. This book addresses this lack of information about one of the largest and most diverse regions of the world. It describes the religious diversity of 27 nations, as large and complex as Indonesia and as small as Tuvalu, outlining the current issues and the basic policy approaches to religious diversity. Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands are portrayed as a living laboratory of various religious blends, with a wide variance of histories and many different approaches to managing religious diversity. While interesting in their own right, a study of these nations provides a wealth of case studies of diversity management – most of them stories of success and inclusion.

Book excerpt: Conservative Islam: A Cultural Anthropology by Erich Kolig analyzes the salient characteristics of Islam and contemporary Muslim society from the perspective of traditional cultural anthropology. Gender issues, the headscarf and veiling, alcohol and pork prohibition, the taboo on satirizing religious contents, violence and jihad, attitudes toward rationalism and modernity, and other important issues that emanate from Islamic doctrine are discursively highlighted as to their origins, symbolic meanings, and importance in the modern world. By highlighting socio-cultural configurations, the universals they represent, the circumstances of their creation, and their semiotic meaning, Kolig helps the reader gain understanding of Islam in the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today about 85 per cent of the world population of Muslims live in areas outside the Arab world, and due to population growth, missionary endeavours and migration, the number of Muslims in these areas is rising rapidly. This volume presents the spread and character of Islam in many non-Arab countries, focusing particularly on the contemporary situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significantly influencing the sociological study of religion, Hans Mol developed ideas of identity which remain thought-provoking for analyses of how religion operates within contemporary societies. Sacred Selves, Sacred Settings brings current social-religious topics into sharp focus: international scholars analyse, challenge, and apply Mol’s theoretical assertions. This book introduces the unique story of Hans Mol, who survived Nazi imprisonment and proceeded to brush shoulders with formidable intellectuals of the twentieth century, such as Robert Merton, Talcott Parsons, and Reinhold Niebuhr. Offering a fresh perspective on popular subjects such as secularization, pluralism, and the place of religion in the public sphere, this book sets case studies within an intellectual biography which describes Mol’s key influences and reveals the continuing import of Hans Mol’s work applied to recent data and within a contemporary context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a conceptual, historical and contemporary context to the relationships between gender, religion and cities. It draws together these three components to provide an innovative view of how religion and gender interact and affect urban form and city planning. While there have been many books that deal with religion and cities; gender and cities; and gender and religion, this book is unique in bringing these three subjects together. This trio of inter-relationships is first explored within Western Christianity: in Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy and in the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. A wider perspective is then provided in chapters on the ways in which Islam shapes urban development and influences the position of Muslim women in urban space. While official religions have declined in the West there is still a desire for new forms of spirituality, and this is discussed in chapters on municipal spirituality and on the rise of paganism and the links to both environmentalism and feminism. Finally, ways of taking into account both gender and religion within the statutory urban planning system are presented. This book will be of great interest to those researching environment and gender, urban planning and sustainability, human geography and religion.

Download or read book A History of Christchurch Muslims written by Abdullah Drury and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a significant part of New Zealand history through a critical analysis of the Muslim community in Christchurch, a neglected but important aspect of wider New Zealand social and religious history. Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in New Zealand and one of the least understood by the wider public. However, the historic reality demonstrates that the first Muslim settlers arrived within 15 years of the proclamation of the colony in 1841, and many have been living quietly in this country and contributing to society ever since. Drury elucidates how New Zealand Muslims have proved it possible to integrate into a European society in the South Pacific whilst retaining an idiosyncratic sense of Islamic communal identity. This book is a useful reference for scholars and educators curious to learn more about Muslims in New Zealand and about the Christchurch Mosque communities before the 2019 shootings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a critical approach to the concept of ‘religious pluralism’, this book examines the dynamics of religious co-existence in Asia as they are directly addressed by governments, or indirectly managed by groups and individuals. It looks at the quality of relations that emerge in encounters among people of different religious traditions or among people who hold different visions within the same tradition. Chapters focus in particular on the places of everyday religious diversity in Asian societies in order to explore how religious groups have confronted new situations of religious diversity. The book goes on to explore the conditions under which active religious pluralism emerges (or not) from material contexts of diversity.

Download or read book Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society written by David William Kim and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the various phenomena of religious encounters in a transcultural society where religion or religious traditions play a significant role in a multi-cultural concept. Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society is divided into three parts: Islamic encounters with regional religions, East Asian religious encounters, and alternative religious encounters. This book evokes the fact that religious encounters exist in every transcultural society even though they often remain hidden behind socio-cultural issues. The situation can be changed, but one culture cannot harmoniously and always contain two or multi-beliefs. The issue of religious encounters mostly arises in the transnational process of religious globalization.

Download or read book The World Muslim Population written by Houssain Kettani and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birth of Islam over fourteen centuries ago was a monumental event in human history with an everlasting effect on humanity. For centuries, researchers have contemplated the growth and distribution of Muslims throughout the world. This book presents a reliable estimate of the world Muslim population since the inception of Islam at the start of the seventh century to the end of the twenty-first century. In this book, the world is divided into five continents, each of which is further divided into non-overlapping regions, and these in turn are divided into current countries. A centennial data estimate for each region and current country from 600 AD to 2100 AD (approximately 1 H to 1500 H) of the total population, and the corresponding Muslim population and its percentage are provided. Furthermore, the same data in decennial order from 1790 to 2100 (or 1210 H to 1520 H) are provided for each region and country. These data are summarized to be an accurate reference for other studies and discussions related to the Muslim population. Written for demographers, researchers, historians, as well as general readers, this book is an essential reference to all aspects of the world Muslim population.
