Abstract:
This groundbreaking book explores resistance against the harsh policing of sexuality in some Muslim societies, where religious discourse is used to stigmatize and repress those, especially women, who do not confrom to sexual norms promoted by the state or by non-state actors. Using case studies from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, Irsrel, Indonesia, China and India, Sexuality in Muslim Contexts shows that this discours does not necessarily match the practices of believers or of citizens and that women's empowerment is facilitated where indigenous and culturally appropriate stategies are developed.
