- Description
- Nageeb provides case studies and analyses of the lives of four Muslim women living in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. Nageeb examines how these women negotiate their social spaces, locating their daily struggles within increasingly rigid Islamic practices in Sudan. The women express resistance and cultural accomodation in different ways: while some choose to instrumentalize state and religious rules and rhetoric for their won aims, others stretch the boundaries with gentle persistence.
