Download or read book Narratives of Muslim Womanhood and Women's Agency written by Minako Sakai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portrayals of Islamic teachings in mass media, often present Muslim women as victims of patriarchal norms. Often covered in a full veil, and without individuality, they tend to be depicted using a monochrome image, across Muslim countries and regions. It does not portray the social reality and expectations of Muslim women, which are in fact diverse and contextual. This book consists of articles that attempt to answer the question, are Muslim women merely passive objects in constructing their role, despite the spread of social media and the Internet, the increased demands of earning disposable income for their families, and their migration to non-Muslim countries around the world? It closely examines women’s agency in negotiating their role in Muslim-majority societies and in new places of settlement (Australia). These articles analyse Muslim women’s narratives in a wide range of economic, political, social and cultural milieu and their relationship to identity construction and portrayal in the new millennium. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations.

Download or read book Never-married Malay Muslim Women in Modern Malaysia written by Rozita Ibrahim and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an ethnographic study of the experiences of singlehood within the Malay Muslim society in Malaysia. The study focuses on never-married women over the age of 30, past the normal marriageable age. Singlehood is regarded as a 'glocal' phenomenon. In other words, while the phenomenon is happening globally within modern societies, the experiences of singlehood are locally constructed. The experiences of singlehood are also gendered, where singleness among women is generally regarded negatively compared to men. This study attempts to answer the following questions: (1) How do Malay Muslims experiences singlehood at the societal level (macro level)? (2) How do never-married Malay Muslim women define their identities at the individual and interactional levels (micro level), within the family, at the workplace and as Muslims? (3) How are Malay Muslims' experiences of singlehood similar to, or different from, other socio-cultural contexts? In terms of data collection methods, in-depth interviews, participant observation and textual analysis were utilised. Analysis of the public discourses in Malay language newspaper articles and a Malay movie revealed that at the macro level, singleness is perceived as a 'problem' and single women are considered as having 'deficit' or 'incomplete identity'. However, at the micro level, analysis of the in-depth interviews using bases of identity as a framework revealed a mismatch between the public discourse of singlehood and the actual lived experiences of single women and their immediate environment. Evidently, the study participants were not passive subjects, but were rather active agents who creatively negotiated 'complete' identities within their families, at the workplace and as Muslims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining both personal and academic insights into the Malaysian women’s movement, this study provides an in-depth account of the multiple struggles of the Malaysian women’s movement, from securing gender equality in a patriarchal society to achieving unity among members of a multi-ethnic society that are further divided along class and religious lines. Most historical versions of national struggles have created icons out of male figures. The authors of this book have provided a corrective to this. They detail the importance of the role of the women’s movement, led by numerous unsung personalities in promoting social change in Malaysia. The book centres on a crucial argument: that in the context of an ethnically fragmented post-colonial, authoritarian society, an autonomous woman movement, which began in the early eighties had actually achieved significant political success. However the study observes that by the late 1990s, feminist issues were also readily appropriated by the state and the market, and also suggests that the emergence of ‘market feminism’ poses specific challenges for the future of the Malaysian women’s movement. This thorough and engaging account of feminism and the women’s movement in Malaysia will capture the interest of scholars, policy makers and activists.

Download or read book Islamic Revivalism and Politics in Malaysia written by Bob Olivier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the Islamisation process that has unfolded in Malaysia over the last fifty years and provides feedback from in-depth interviews with 100 individuals from Malaysia’s “educated classes”, or the “elite”, regarding their reactions to the changes that have accompanied Islamisation and how they feel it has impacted them. It includes a brief overview of Islamisation globally and a brief history of Malaysia, focusing especially on those aspects relevant to the book’s subject. The book gives a comprehensive explanation of how and why Islamisation occurred in Malaysia and illustrates the extent of change that has accompanied it. The feedback from the research participants includes special analysis of reactions from Muslim women and non-Muslims. The reasons behind there being so little public debate about Islamisation and the concerns that this group of people have about what is happening is also explained. Finally, the author gives his opinion on the impact the change in government in May 2019 is likely to have.

Download or read book Women and the Politics of Representation in Southeast Asia written by Adeline Koh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singapore and Malaysia are rapidly modernising, globalising Asian states which, although being distinct nations since 1965, share common elements in the on-going struggle over the meaning of gender and sexuality in their societies. This is the first book to discuss a range of discourses around gender in these two countries. Women and the Politics of Representation in Southeast Asia: Engendering Discourse in Singapore and Malaysia seeks to give an overview of how gender and representation come together in various configurations in the history and contemporary culture of both nations. It examines the discursive construction of gender, sexuality and representation in a variety of areas, including the politics of everyday life, education, popular culture, literature, film, theatre and photography. Chapters examine a range of tropes such as the Orientalist "Sarong Party Girl," the iconic "Singapore Girl" of Singapore Airlines, and the figure of pious Muslim femininity celebrated by Malaysian NGO IMAN, all of which play important roles in delineating limitations for gender roles. The collection also draws attention to resistance to these gender boundaries in theatre, film, blogs and social media, and pedagogy. Bringing together research from a variety of humanistic and social science fields, such as film, material culture, semiotics, literature and pedagogy, the book is a comprehensive feminist survey that will be of use for students and scholars of Women’s Studies and Asian Studies, as well as on courses on gender, media and popular culture in Asia.

The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elite Malay women’s polygamy narratives are multiple and varied, and their sentiments regarding the practice are conflicted, as they are often torn between personal and religious convictions. This volume explores the ways in which this increasingly prominent practice impacts Malay gender relations. As Muslims, elite Malay women may be forced to accept polygamy, but they mostly condemn it as women and wives, as it forces them to manage their lives and loves under the “threat” of polygamy from a husband able to marry another woman without their knowledge or consent; a husband that is married but available.
